About the piece

Dated to 1642, this river landscape by Jan van Goyen is a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age 'tonal' style. Characterized by a restrained palette of earthy browns and silvery greys, the work emphasizes the moist atmosphere and soft light of the Netherlands. The composition leads the eye along the water toward a distant horizon, anchored by the silhouettes of traditional architecture and figures in small skiffs.
