About the piece

Painted in 1648, this atmospheric work by Jan van Goyen captures the Burchtpoort in Nijmegen. Using a sophisticated tonal palette of warm earth tones, van Goyen masterfully balances the imposing architecture of the old gatehouse with an expansive, clouded sky and the soft reflections of the Dutch riverside.
