About the piece

Painted in 1629 by the experimental Dutch master Hercules Seghers, this oil on oak panel showcases a vast lowland landscape. A lone church spire and a windmill punctuate the horizon, set against a dramatic, atmospheric sky that occupies the majority of the composition in warm, earthy tones.
