EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century etching and aquatint by Cornelis Ploos van Amstel, titled "Landscape with Castle and Shepherd Tending Flock" (1704), invites us to explore the idyllic rural life of the Dutch Low Countries during the early modern period. The image transports us to a serene pastoral scene, where a picturesque castle stands proudly atop a hill, its fortifications a testament to the region's rich history. Below, a shepherd in traditional attire tends to his flock of cows, their white bodies contrasting against the lush green landscape and the black and white etching technique. The artist masterfully captures the harmony between nature and agriculture, as well as the simple pleasures of rural life. This evocative work of art, created by Cornelis Jacobsz Ploos van Amstel, is a precious addition to the European artistic heritage and a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of the past. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this exquisite piece, which continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
