About the piece

Painted in 1664 by Meindert Hobbema, this oil on panel work captures the serene beauty of the Dutch countryside. The composition leads the eye from the textured foreground with its fallen timber into a cool, shaded forest, while towering cumulus clouds dominate the sky, creating a sense of grand scale and natural drama typical of the period.
