About the piece
Created in 1644 by Jan van Goyen, this painting is a quintessential example of the Dutch 'tonalist' landscape. The composition utilizes a low horizon to emphasize the majestic, billowy clouds and the subtle interplay of light across the river's surface, where sailboats and small rowing vessels navigate a peaceful waterway near a distant village church.
