River view 1640 - 1674

"River View" is a 17th-century oil painting on canvas by Dutch artist Jacob de Wet, depicting a picturesque river scene. The painting showcases de Wet's mastery in depicting the natural world with a strong emphasis on light and shadow. The river winds through a town, with buildings lining its banks, and a hill rises in the background. The subtle use of color and light creates a sense of tranquility and depth. This work is an example of de Wet’s signature style of landscape painting, characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a balanced composition.
