About the piece
Painted in 1650, Jan van Goyen’s masterful view of Leiden exemplifies the Dutch 'tonal' phase of landscape painting. The composition is dominated by a dramatic, billowing sky that reflects softly in the water, while the detailed skyline and bustling river activity provide a sense of timeless quietude.
