About the piece
Painted in 1649 by Salomon van Ruysdael, this masterpiece of the Dutch Golden Age captures the bustling life of the Netherlands' waterways. The composition is anchored by a ferry laden with figures and cattle, while the vast, atmospheric sky and finely detailed foliage exemplify the artist's technical brilliance and serene vision of the countryside.
