About the piece

Painted in 1657 by Salomon van Ruysdael, this masterful work captures the peaceful river approaches to the city of Deventer. The composition is dominated by a vast, atmospheric sky with towering cumulus clouds, while the lower third of the canvas provides a detailed look at Dutch maritime life and the iconic church tower on the horizon.
