About the piece

Attributed to Aert van der Neer circa 1665, this oil painting exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's mastery of atmospheric light and horizon. The composition leads the eye across a peaceful river scene populated by grazing cattle and local figures, all set beneath an expansive and dramatic sky that provides the work's primary sense of scale and light.
