vista al bosque (vista al bosque) c1848 por pintor holandés Barend Cornelis Koekkoek (1803 – 1862); Paisaje con puente de piedra cerca de una casa por Barend Cornelis Koekkoek Cojín (1840 – 1912); a painter of the Romantic and Realism Styles who was a renowned marine painter.
This is a wonderful forest genre scene during sunset, as people are going about their business, encountering their friends and neighbors along a common path.
By the path on the left is a flowing stream that is border on both sides by rocks and boulders and large trees on either side of the embankment.
Along the path we see a lady who may be a mother with a flask, indicating she may have been collecting water, talking to a man on a white horse, who might be a herder as there are cows situated around him with one looking as though it is waiting on him.
There are four other cows nearby, one laying down, another looking across the stream, another eating grass and the fourth watching the other cows.
In the mist of the cows are two sheep, and across from them are four children two girls that are sitting on the ground by a tree, a boy standing by the tree and a baby standing by the younger of the two girls.
Behind the children we see a man following a donkey and two other donkeys next to him that are being used as pack animals.
In a clearing beside the tree the children are near, wee see another cow rest on the ground along with seven sheep who are resting on the ground beside the cow.
Behind these animals we see more sheep the are grazing on the grass in the clearing and beside another tree; and the forest scene is made complete with a beautiful blue sky with billowing orange, yellow and tan colored clouds, with birds flying high above.

Barend decidió seguir una carrera como paisajista., en el que sobresalió, siendo llamado durante su vida el “Príncipe de las pinturas de paisajes” and was considered the greatest landscapist of his time; being regarded as the founding father of Dutch Romantic Landscape Painting.
His main landscape focus, was on creating woodland areas and forest, mainl with winter and summer themes; but painted them in all seasons of the year and fitted them with tiny figures of people and animals going about their daily lives; but a great emphasis on the majesty of nature and the greatness of creation.
Barend was one of the few artist to receive an endless list of artistic awards and decorations and was able to count as his clients King Friedrich-Wilhelm IV of Prussia (1795 – 1861), Tsar Alexander II (1818 – 1881), and King Willem II of the Netherlands (1792 – 1849).
