About the piece
Created in 1664 by Salomon van Ruysdael, this masterpiece exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's celebration of the local landscape. The composition masterfully balances the dense, luminous foliage of the trees on the right with an expansive, soft sky and the reflective waters of the river, where a ferry boat and distant sails suggest a quiet, industrious life.
