About Artwork: (1648) "Dawn is breaking over the town of Rhenen, but already the cows are alert, drinking in the river, and boats are moving upstream. The sweep of the clouds, the outward curve of the sails and the ripples on the water suggest a slight breeze. The Dutch flag lifts slightly on the boat closest to us. Salomon van Ruysdael has used a limited palette of muted, earthy colours here to convey the almost luminous quality of early morning light over a wide, flat landscape with an expanse of water. In 1648, the year that the picture was painted, the Dutch won independence from the Spanish after some 80 years of conflict. A picture like this would have been appreciated for its skilfully depicted light and its beautifully balanced composition, but perhaps also for its tranquillity and sense of continuity – the return of peace and prosperity after the storms of war." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
