About the piece

Painted around 1660 by Jacob van Ruisdael, this atmospheric landscape captures the rugged beauty of a rocky terrain. A timbered cottage with a thatched roof anchors the mid-ground, while a turbulent stream flows through the foreground and billowy clouds dominate the sky, showcasing the artist's legendary skill with light and shadow.
