Landscape 1633

Claude de Jongh's "Landscape" (1633) depicts a peaceful scene of a river in the Dutch countryside. The painting, which is 43.5 cm high and 69 cm wide, shows a small boat on the river with a distant shoreline in the background. The foreground features a stone building, likely a fortified farmhouse, and a group of people tending to their work. De Jongh's subtle use of light and shadow creates a serene atmosphere, typical of his work, which placed him among the followers of the great Dutch landscape painter, Jacob van Ruisdael.
