The Cattle Ferry — Esaias van de Velde

Esaias van de Velde. Painted 1622.

This painting is a milestone, for never before had a Dutch painter depicted his native flat, watery landscape in such a monumental format. Dusk is falling, and the light is beginning to fade. The glistening river winds its way into the distance, drawing the viewer along, too, past countless little figures.

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