Eliza Agnetus Emilius Nijhoff, Extensive Black Forest Landscape with Farm - Antique Oil Painting

19th century

Sold by Brave Fine Art

Description

This breathtaking landscape painting by Dutch artist Eliza Agnetus Emilius Nijhoff (1826-1903) depicts an extensive view in the Black Forest. It’s exquisitely rendered and created by an artist with a deep connection to the natural world.

In the foreground, a family works by a ramshackle farmhouse while several cows wander along a track. A lone goat looks curiously towards a hill. Beyond them, an abundance of majestic pines - a dense wall of light blue under a picture-perfect sky.

This masterful composition gives you room to breathe. You could walk towards the stream, along the opening by the copse on the left, rest endlessly to the sound of very little.

The painting is signed in the lower right and housed within a handsome swept frame with pierced corners and centres.
