About the piece

Painted in 1656, this masterful work by Jan van Goyen exemplifies the Dutch 'tonal' style of landscape painting. The composition is dominated by a dramatic, light-filled sky that reflects over the calm waters of the Haarlemmermeer, where small vessels and distant windmills create a sense of peaceful, everyday life.
