About the piece

Painted in 1633, this work by Jan van Goyen is a superb example of the Dutch 'tonal' phase of landscape painting. The composition is dominated by a sweeping, atmospheric sky, while the foreground bustles with activity at a riverbank inn. Figures and horses gather by the water's edge, looking across the choppy waves toward the distant silhouette of Dordrecht.
