About the piece

Painted in 1661 by Salomon van Ruysdael, this oil on panel masterpiece captures the serene beauty of the Dutch coast. Large, billowing clouds dominate the composition, casting soft light over the Wijkermeer where sailboats and small skiffs navigate the calm waters near the town of Beverwijk.
