About the piece
Painted in 1651 by Jan van de Cappelle, this masterwork of Dutch marine art depicts two sailing vessels resting near the shore at dawn. The composition is defined by its luminous, atmospheric sky and the quiet presence of a cow on the riverbank, creating a serene and timeless coastal scene characteristic of the period's atmospheric realism.
