About the piece

Painted around 1665 by Meindert Hobbema, this work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's mastery of landscape. The composition guides the eye along a winding dirt track toward sunlit clearings and humble forest dwellings, all set beneath an expansive sky of billowing, luminous clouds.
