View of Rhenen and the Rhine from the East 1663

"View of Rhenen and the Rhine from the East" is a 1663 watercolor by Dutch artist Gerbrand van den Eeckhout. The artwork depicts a panoramic view of the town of Rhenen, Netherlands, with the Rhine river in the foreground. The composition features a rolling landscape, with the town and church nestled on a hill in the distance. The artist’s use of light and shadow, and soft washes of color, create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work is a prime example of Dutch landscape painting of the 17th century, which often emphasized natural beauty and the everyday lives of the people. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
