About the piece

Painted in 1873, this oil work by Jacob Maris depicts a historic section of Amsterdam's harbor. A prominent figure of the Hague School, Maris expertly captures the damp, luminous atmosphere of the Netherlands through a muted tonal palette and confident, painterly brushwork. The composition balances the solid architectural weight of the Schreierstoren tower with the expansive, airy movement of the clouds reflected in the water.
