Etching on cream laid paper, 6 3/4 x 10 3/4 (172 x 273 mm), the full sheet, thread margins (trimmed at the platemark). In good condition with some minor skinning, toning and areas of light discoloration on the verso. All condition issues are consistent with age. Plate No. 1 from Twelve Landscapes. [Bartsch 83]. Landscape with a Cardinal belongs to a suite of twelve landscape etchings featuring Roman ruins that the artist himself published. It features a monumental ruin, perhaps inspired by the Baths of Caracalla, but placed in a more bucolic setting. The title derives from a small, robed staffage figure with a broad-brimmed hat in the foreground, one of five men seen walking along a road and about to encounter a seated beggar. Van Swanevelt's handling of the etching needle is particularly lively. A rich play of light pervades the image: dark foreground shadows, sun-drenched walls, others in half light, and beautifully rendered atmospheric perspective in the background. The whole is evocative of a beautiful day's walk in the countryside. This is a very early impression of the first edition of the etching. ?Minneapolis Institute of Art.
