About Artwork: (Probably 1665-75) "A grey, turbulent sky dominates the scene, but our eye is also caught by a patch of light in the fields: the sun has broken through a crack in the clouds. This sense of fast-changing light brings the whole landscape to life, injecting movement into what otherwise might have been a static scene. This effect helps make it feel as though van Ruisdael has captured a real moment in a real place, but it’s more likely that he was depicting an idealised landscape. He was reflecting an idea that he and his customers had about how Holland should look, and – crucially – the importance of the church. The tower and spire are central to the picture, tall and resilient against an impending storm – a source of strength when times get rough. Other strongholds, like the ruined medieval castle in the foreground, slowly crumble." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
