About the piece

Painted circa 1650 by the Dutch Golden Age master Aert van der Neer, this nocturnal landscape captures the quiet drama of a river scene at night. The work is defined by its sophisticated tonal range and the luminous reflection of moonlight on the water, highlighting the quiet movement of sailing vessels against a silhouetted village skyline.
