River View by Moonlight — Aert van der Neer

Aert van der Neer. Painted c. 1650 - c. 1655.

Van der Neer was a painter with two specialities: winter scenes and nocturnal moonlit landscapes. With a limited range of colours, Van der Neer here created the perfect illusion of a moonlit night. The chilly moonlight is reflected in the water, glances off the windowpanes of the houses at left, and lights up the white feathers of the ducks in the foreground.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Specialisation in painting, 17th Century, Main building.
