"Landscape with Trees and a Shepherd Couple" is an engraving by the renowned Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius, created in the late 16th or early 17th century. Goltzius (1558–1617) was a highly influential figure in the Dutch Golden Age of printmaking, known for his virtuosity in engraving and the complexity of his compositions. This particular work is catalogued as Bartsch 243, Hollstein 379, and Strauss 409, according to the respective authoritative bibliographies that classify prints from this period.

The engraving depicts a bucolic scene where a shepherd and his companion are surrounded by a lush landscape, characterized by an array of trees and foliage. The composition is a testament to Goltzius's skill in rendering textures and naturalistic details, as well as his ability to convey pastoral tranquility and the idyllic charm of rural life. The scene is likely to be allegorical, a common practice in the art of the period, possibly alluding to themes of love, harmony with nature, or the pastoral literary tradition that idealizes shepherd life.

Goltzius's work is notable for its combination of Northern Mannerist style and the influence of Italian Renaissance art, which he adopted following a trip to Italy. His engravings are characterized by dynamic lines, a high degree of finish, and a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro to achieve depth and volume. "Landscape with Trees and a Shepherd Couple" exemplifies these qualities and contributes to our understanding of Goltzius's oeuvre and the artistic trends of his time.

The engraving is part of a larger body of work by Goltzius that explores landscape as a subject, a genre that was gaining popularity in the late 16th century. As with many of his prints, this work would have been collected by connoisseurs and art lovers of the period, contributing to the spread of Goltzius's fame beyond his native Holland.

Today, "Landscape with Trees and a Shepherd Couple" is studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the technical prowess of Goltzius. It is also of interest to scholars examining the cultural and aesthetic values of the Dutch Golden Age. The print can be found in various art collections, museums, and institutions that specialize in Old Master prints.
