About the piece
Painted in 1644, Jan van Goyen captures the city of Dordrecht from the water with his characteristic tonalist approach. The composition is dominated by a sweeping, luminous sky, while the foreground buzzes with the quiet activity of river transport, showcasing the master's ability to evoke light and atmosphere with a restricted palette.
