Description: | This painting in the manner of Salomon van Ruysdael was probably made in the early eighteenth-century. The use of light and shade and the tonality of this riverscape are features characteristic of Ruysdael's works. The placidity of the sea in the background and of the trees and cottages on the shore contrasts with the slightly dramatic episode represented in the foreground, where two men in a small boat sail on rough waves. | Subjects: | marine; landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ruysdael, Salomon van (Dutch painter, born ca. 1602, died 1670) Æ Attributed to school of Previously attributed to Ruysdael, Salomon van (Dutch painter, born ca. 1602, died 1670) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9032... | Go to resource |
