About the piece
Created around 1650, Aelbert Cuyp's 'The Passage Boat' is a superlative example of Dutch Golden Age maritime painting. The work is celebrated for its masterful handling of light and its focus on the vast, atmospheric sky that occupies much of the canvas, reflecting serenely in the water below while framing the intricate details of the passage boats and their diverse passengers.
