Description: | This landscape was painted by Salomon van Ruysdael, one of the best known and most prolific seventeenth-century Dutch landscape painters. He was born and lived in Haarlem, where he concentrated almost exclusively on the depiction of estuary scenes. Ruysdael's early works were monochromatic. The introduction of more colour to his palette is evident in this mature work of the River Lek near Utrecht. The painting includes all the elements generally found in Ruysdael's work, including the identifiable location, which in this instance is the town of Vianen with the tower of Batestein Castle in the distance. | Subjects: | Batestein Castle) horse); figure; townscape; landscape; marine; everyday life; place (Vianen animal (dog | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ruysdael, Salomon van (Dutch painter, born ca. 1602, died 1670) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8547... | Go to resource |
