Panoramic View of Dordrecht and the River Maas 1645 - 1652

Aelbert Cuyp’s “Panoramic View of Dordrecht and the River Maas” is a detailed depiction of the Dutch city of Dordrecht as seen from across the Maas River. Painted in 1645-1652, the artwork captures the city’s skyline, including its distinctive church towers and windmills, against a soft, hazy sky. The soft hues and gentle light create a serene and idyllic atmosphere, characteristic of Cuyp’s mastery of atmospheric perspective.
