About the piece

Painted in 1655, this oil-on-canvas work by Allaert van Everdingen captures the rugged beauty of a Nordic landscape. As one of the first Dutch artists to travel to Scandinavia, van Everdingen brought back a new sense of drama and scale, masterfully contrasting the deep shadows of the evergreen forest with the luminous spray of the river water.
