About the piece
Painted in 1664, this masterpiece by Meindert Hobbema captures the serene yet industrious character of the 17th-century Dutch countryside. The scene centers on a weathered timber watermill, its wheel creating a bright cascade of water that contrasts with the deep, shadowed greens of the surrounding woodland. Hobbema's expert handling of light and texture in the billowing clouds and dense foliage creates a grounding, atmospheric work that defines the pastoral tradition of the Golden Age.
