About the piece

Painted in 1665 by Meindert Hobbema, this masterpiece exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with the local landscape. The composition leads the eye along a sun-dappled high road past thatched cottages and beneath the sweeping branches of grand old trees, all set against a vast, billowing sky that defines the coastal light of the Netherlands.
