About the piece
Painted in 1659, Adriaen van de Velde’s 'Dunes at Scheveningen' captures the quiet industry of the Dutch coast. The vast, atmospheric sky dominates the composition, casting a soft light over the horsemen, dogs, and beached boats, characteristic of the Golden Age's masterful treatment of light and space.
