La Passerelle, Hollande 1868

"La Passerelle, Hollande" is an 1868 painting by Johan Barthold Jongkind. This landscape depicts a canal in the Netherlands, a popular subject for the artist. It features a small boat docked near a large building and three windmills in the distance, giving a glimpse into daily life in rural Holland. Jongkind was a Dutch artist who pioneered Impressionism, and this painting is a prime example of his mastery of capturing light and atmosphere, particularly evident in the sky and the reflections on the water.
