About the piece
Painted in 1643 during Jan van Goyen's celebrated tonal period, this work depicts the city of Nijmegen along the river Waal. The composition is defined by the imposing presence of the Valkhof citadel and a busy river ferry, all rendered in a refined palette of earth tones and silvery greys that emphasize the soft, humid light of the Netherlands.
