About the piece

Painted in 1646 by Salomon van Ruysdael, this masterpiece captures the serene beauty of the Dutch countryside near Gorinchem. The composition is anchored by a ferry boat and a tall, wind-swept tree on the riverbank, while the vast, atmospheric sky dominates the scene with its luminous clouds and subtle play of light, characteristic of the finest marine and river scenes of the period.
