About the piece
Created around 1640, this oil painting by Jan van Goyen is a definitive work of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition masterfully balances the architectural weight of the Valkhof castle and the Great Church with the ephemeral quality of a vast, luminous sky. In the foreground, a ferry loaded with passengers and livestock provides a glimpse into the everyday commerce and travel of the period, all rendered in the artist's celebrated tonal palette.
