Ein von der Jagd gekommener Jäger in reicher Tracht zeigt seinem Hund ein Rebhuhn 

R. Meurs Pruysenaar captured this waterside cityscape in a drawing. The buildings are reflected in the water. Can you see the spire of the church? Look at the light and shadow that give the drawing depth. The artist’s focus on the architecture may have been influenced by the cultural and economic developments happening in Europe. The rise of the merchant class and the growth of cities created a demand for depictions of urban landscapes. Landscape art became a way to celebrate a sense of regional and national identity. The details of daily life and the architecture captured in the artwork are a window into the past. They show us the physical and cultural environment of the people. Through the artist's perspective, we gain a sense of what daily life may have been like. We’re invited to connect with a different time.
