Felswand an einem Gewässer mit zwei Anglern 

This landscape etching was created by Franz Kobell. Notice how the composition balances the rough texture of the rock face with the smooth expanse of water. Kobell uses varied line work to define the landscape. Short, choppy lines create the density of foliage, while longer, flowing lines suggest the reflections on the water’s surface. The contrast in textures adds depth, drawing the eye from the detailed foreground to the softer, more diffused background. The etching captures a moment of tranquility and contemplation, typical of Romanticism, where nature is both sublime and a source of solace. The two fishermen are small in scale, emphasizing the grandeur of nature. This contrast invites us to reflect on the relationship between humanity and the natural world. This relationship, as represented through the artist's distinctive formal techniques, offers endless interpretations.
