About the piece

Painted in 1648 by Jan Vermeer van Haarlem the Elder, this masterful Dutch Golden Age work captures the atmospheric tension of the Haarlem dunes. The central massive tree is rendered with meticulous detail, providing a grounding force against the sweeping, moody movement of the storm clouds above.
