About the piece

Attributed to the circle of Meindert Hobbema or Jacob van Ruisdael, this 1655 landscape is a definitive example of Dutch Golden Age painting. The work masterfully balances the heavy, gnarled forms of ancient oaks with a luminous, airy distance where the stone towers of Bentheim Castle rise above the horizon, capturing the moody and atmospheric beauty of the 17th-century European countryside.
