About the piece
Painted in 1650 by the Dutch master Herman Saftleven, this oil on panel depicts an expansive river valley bathed in golden light. Saftleven's characteristic use of atmospheric perspective is on full display, leading the viewer's eye from the textured, shaded cliffs of the foreground toward the luminous, hazy peaks on the horizon.
