About the piece

Created around 1660 by the preeminent Dutch landscape painter Jacob van Ruisdael, this grand scene depicts the arrival of Cornelis de Graeff and his family at the Soestdijk estate. The work demonstrates Ruisdael's mastery of atmospheric light and dense foliage, framing the elegant procession within a lush, expansive woodland that perfectly captures the prestige of the Dutch Golden Age.
