About the piece

Painted in 1646 by the Dutch master Jan van Goyen, this work exemplifies the tonal landscape style of the Golden Age. The composition is dominated by a sweeping, cloud-filled sky that reflects soft light onto the river below, where small boats and ferries transport figures toward the silhouetted city of Arnhem. Van Goyen's restrained palette of earthy browns, ochres, and silvery greys creates a unified, serene atmosphere.
