Huis in een landschap 1890 - 1946

Cornelis Vreedenburgh made this landscape drawing with graphite on paper. Vreedenburgh was a Dutch painter known for his cityscapes and landscapes. He lived through a time of significant social change and upheaval in Europe. This might explain why his style often reflects a sense of nostalgia for more pastoral times. The sketch captures a house nestled within a landscape. The loose lines give the image a raw, immediate feel, inviting us to consider themes of home and belonging. There’s a quiet intimacy to the work; the house, though simply rendered, evokes ideas of shelter, privacy, and family. The drawing invites contemplation on the relationship between human constructions and the natural environment. It reflects the human desire to find harmony between these two worlds. The sketch makes us consider our own sense of place, identity, and belonging.
