About the piece
Painted around 1650, Aelbert Cuyp’s panoramic view of the Maas at Dordrecht is a pinnacle of Dutch Golden Age marine art. The work is celebrated for its masterful treatment of light, as the setting sun illuminates a towering formation of cumulus clouds and reflects off the calm waters, where various sailing vessels and rowboats congregate near the city skyline.
