Description: | Verboom depicted the wide, winding form of a river that flows into the middle distance of the composition. Interest is brought to the painting through the focus on the rise of the riverbanks that almost appear to form hills in this otherwise flat landscape. This appealing composition exemplifies the way that artists confronted the challenge of depicting the local landscape at a time when mountainous scenes were popular. Verboom was inspired by the work of Jacob van Ruisdael, with whom he was in contact during a period in Amsterdam. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verboom, Adriaen Hendricksz.
