Six Landscapes: Path Between Swamp and Wooded Bank, c. 1595. Creator: Jacob I Savery (Dutch
Six Landscapes: Path Between Swamp and Wooded Bank, c. 1595. One of a series of six wooded landscapes, this print characterizes some of the most significant developments in 17th-century Dutch landscape and provides a striking contrast to the dramatic forest interiors of other Flemish immigrant artists. As etching superseded engraving in landscape prints, original compositions designed by printmakers replaced reproductions of works by contemporary painters. Saverys etching also anticipates the rise of Dutch realism, with more accurate representations of the native landscape. The broken contours of the trees describe a sun-drenched afternoon as soldiers, identified by their distinctive hats and armored chest plates, journey along a path through the rolling countryside

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Six Landscapes: Path Between Swamp and Wooded Bank, c. 1595" by Jacob I Savery showcases the significant developments in 17th-century Dutch landscape art. As part of a series of six wooded landscapes, this particular print stands out for its unique portrayal of the native landscape. In contrast to the dramatic forest interiors often depicted by Flemish immigrant artists, Savery's etching offers a more realistic representation of the countryside. The broken contours of the trees beautifully capture a sun-drenched afternoon, creating an atmosphere that transports viewers to another time and place. The print also reflects the changing trends in printmaking during this period. With etching gaining popularity over engraving for landscape prints, artists like Savery began creating original compositions instead of reproducing works by contemporary painters. This shift paved the way for Dutch realism to emerge as a dominant style in later years. Within this picturesque scene, soldiers can be seen journeying along a path through the rolling countryside. Their distinctive hats and armored chest plates identify them as they traverse through nature's beauty. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this Heritage Art/Heritage Images print not only captures an important moment in Dutch art history but also invites viewers to immerse themselves in the enchanting world created by Jacob I Savery nearly four centuries ago.
