About the piece

Painted in 1644 by Dutch master Jan van Goyen, this polder landscape is a quintessential example of the tonal style of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition is dominated by a vast, atmospheric sky that looms over a low horizon dotted with windmills and quiet river activity, all captured in harmonious shades of ochre, brown, and silvery grey.
