About the piece
Painted in 1641 by the Dutch master Jan van Goyen, this work is a quintessential example of the tonalist movement. The artist uses a refined palette of earthy ochres and grays to masterfully render the atmospheric light of the Netherlands, depicting the fortified towers of the Valkhof in Nijmegen as they dominate the river landscape.
