介绍（中）	在一个多岩石的山谷里，两个旅行者正在一条小溪附近照料他们的马。一座天然桥梁高耸在右侧，在这片多山的景观中形成了一个不朽而壮观的元素。通过精细的冲洗，艺术家有效地捕捉到了阳光在岩层及其植被上的作用
介绍（英）	In a rocky valley, two travelers are tending their horses near a little stream. A natural bridge towers to the right, forming a monumental and imposing element in this mountainous landscape. With delicately applied washes, the artist has effectively captured the play of sunlight on rock formations and its vegetation. Jan van Aken is one of the lesser known Dutch landscapists from the seventeenth century. Information on the artist’s life is limited. On basis of the date 1652, appearing on three of his drawings, we can pinpoint his activity around the middle of the seventeenth century. His compositions, executed in pen and ink and grey washes, depict valleys, woods and townscapes, often bathed in warm sunlight. One is inclined to relate van Aken’s work to that of Italianate artists such as Jan Both (1610–1652) and Nicolaes Berchem (1620–1683). Yet the vistas featuring in van Aken’s drawings seem to be inspired by sites closer to home, rather than the Mediterranean. The pines that are towering the rocks on this particular sheet, for example, are more likely to be encountered in Northern Europe.
