Description: | Such river scenes composed of land, water and foliage, all placed beneath a cloud-filled sky, are typical of Salomon van Ruysdael. It can be dated to the 1630s owing to its similarity to River with Fishermen Drawing a Net (1630-35) and River Landscape with Fisherman (1631, National Gallery, London). A riverbank recedes diagonally across the picture plane. In the centre, behind a group of trees and shrubs, a tower rises into the cloudy sky. Fishermen are drawing in their nets; others are beaching their boats, which are clearly reflected in the calm water. The restricted palette is typical of Ruysdael's 'tonal phase'. | Subjects: | landscape; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ruysdael, Salomon van (Dutch painter, born ca. 1602, died 1670) Æ Attributed to circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8562... | Go to resource |
