{"product_id":"landelijke-taferelen-hermanus-numan","title":"Landelijke taferelen - Hermanus Numan","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of hand-coloured etchings by Hermanus Numan depicting serene rural scenes with figures resting in a pastoral setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print, titled Landelijke taferelen, originates from the Dutch publisher Lutkie \u0026amp; Cranenburg. The work features two distinct scenes, each framed within a rectangular border, depicting figures in a rural setting. The artist, Hermanus Numan, was a Dutch painter and etcher known for his focus on pastoral subjects and topographical views. His work often captures the quietude of the Dutch countryside during the late eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper scene shows a woman seated beneath a tree, engaged in a domestic task, while a companion rests nearby. The lower scene presents a similar arrangement, with a figure reclining against a tree trunk in a relaxed posture. Both images are accompanied by Dutch verse, which reflects the period's appreciation for the simplicity of rural life. The hand-coloured elements, primarily in shades of yellow, blue, and green, provide a decorative quality to the etched lines. Numan's technique relies on fine hatching to define the forms of the trees and the folds of the clothing, creating a sense of volume within the two-dimensional space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese prints were often produced for educational or decorative purposes, reflecting the cultural interest in agrarian themes that persisted in Dutch art. The composition is balanced, with the figures integrated into the natural surroundings. The inclusion of text beneath each scene suggests this was part of a larger series or a publication intended for a wider audience. The style is characteristic of the late eighteenth-century Dutch school, where the influence of earlier masters remained present, yet the approach to subject matter became more focused on the everyday experience of the rural population. This print offers a view into the aesthetic preferences of the era, combining technical precision with a romanticised vision of the countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-grecian-lovely-john-william-godward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Grecian Lovely - John William Godward — John William Godward\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hermanus Numan","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102513594703,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102516773199,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59102516805967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102516838735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102516871503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102516904271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102516937039,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102516969807,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102517002575,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59102517035343,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59102517068111,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59102517100879,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landelijke-taferelen_Poster_CompositorV1_1791874632046.jpg?v=1791874863","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/products\/landelijke-taferelen-hermanus-numan","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
