About the piece

Painted around 1668, this masterpiece by Jacob van Ruisdael exemplifies the dramatic naturalism of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition centers on a rushing mountain stream breaking over boulders, balanced by the gnarled oak trees and distant church spire that define Ruisdael's celebrated topographical style and masterful treatment of light.
