More about this artwork

"Wooded Landscape with Hunter" by Aert van der Neer, painted around 1642-1643, encompasses a serene and richly detailed forest scene that invites viewers into a peaceful seventeenth-century Dutch landscape. Dominated by towering trees whose intricate branches and leaves stretch towards a softly mixed sky of blues and grays, the painting offers a sense of depth and vastness. At the heart of the composition, a hunter appears, subtly integrated into the environment, suggesting the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.In the foreground, reflections shimmer on the surface of a tranquil pond, skillfully painted to show the interplay of light and shadow. The backdrop reveals a more populated scene with figures engaged in various activities near a village, perhaps depicting a typical day in rural Netherlands. The distant architecture, including the spire of a church, peeks through the trees, adding a cultural and spiritual dimension to the natural landscape.Van der Neer's use of muted earth tones and delicate light effects not only capture a moment in time but also evoke a mood of quiet contemplation.

Aert van der Neer, or Aernout or Artus (c. 1603 – 9 November 1677), was a landscape painter of the Dutch Golden Age, specializing in small night scenes lit only by moonlight and fires, and snowy winter landscapes, both often looking down a canal or river. He was a contemporary of Aelbert Cuyp and Meindert Hobbema, and like the latter he lived and died in comparative obscurity.
