About the piece

Painted in 1658, Adriaen van de Velde’s 'A Farm with a Dead Tree' is a masterful example of Dutch Golden Age landscape painting. The work captures a serene moment of rural life, where the detailed rendering of livestock and figures is set against the dramatic silhouette of a gnarled tree and a luminously soft atmosphere characteristic of the period.
