Description: | The artist has observed the effect of light, peculiar to the coast, on landscape and architecture. Influenced by the style of Jacob van Ruisdael, the artist paid particular attention to atmosphere and light. Similarly, he also showed an interest in the forms of the sand dunes that slope down to the sea. This composition reflects the feeling of national pride that was growing among Dutch artists, including Ruisdael and van Goyen, which inspired them to depict landscapes typical of the Netherlands. | Subjects: | landscape; buildings and gardens (watchtower); marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Molenaer, Klaes (Dutch painter, active before 1630-1676) Æ Attributed to circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8341... | Go to resource |
