About the piece

Painted in 1641 by Salomon van Ruysdael, this river landscape is a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition expertly balances the activity of ferrymen and travelers in the foreground with the silent, historic presence of Castle Egmond's ruins, all enveloped in the characteristic luminous atmosphere of the period.
