About the piece

Painted around 1660 by the renowned Dutch master Jacob van Ruisdael, this work captures the somber beauty of a forest marsh at twilight. Gnarled, weather-beaten trees frame a glimpse of water, set against a churning sky of deep blues and warm highlights characteristic of Ruisdael's mastery of atmospheric perspective and natural drama.
