This may be the earliest of the five paintings by Harpignies in the Collection, but the consistency of the artist's style makes the dating of his pictures difficult. Here, the artist plays with the vivid reflections of trees & hills in the still water, ...
In the right middle distance is a States yacht ('statenjacht') with Dutch colours firing a salute. It is a vessel then used by the Dutch chamber of provincial representative, the States General, in The Hague for transporting its members & important visitors. The nearer of the two barges in the foreground is also flying Dutch colours. This picture was probably painted in the mid-1660s. ...
The ferry ('veerpont') in the foreground has a cannon in its cargo. It has a red & white striped ensign & a yellow & white flag draped over the side. Other vessels are flying Dutch colours. This seascape was probably painted in the mid-1660s, at about the same time as van de Cappelle's 'A River Scene with a Dutch Yacht'. ...
Aelbert Cuyp, who was later to develop a personal interpretation of the so-called Dutch Italianate landscape style, began his career as a landscape artist in the near-monochrome manner of Jan van Goyen. This work, showing a calm river scene with small boa ...
The row-barge in the foreground towards the left has a Dutch ensign, & most of the other vessels have Dutch flags. This painting is comparable in style with Cappelle's 'A Dutch Yacht firing a Salute as a Barge pulls away', which is dated 1650. ...
The Dutch economy in the 17th century relied heavily on the country's waterways. The rivers were an important resource for the country's important fishing industry, & shippers used them to transport goods to the different towns & cities. The extremely ...
In the centre is a 'boeier yacht', a Dutch vessel, usually sprit-rigged, with deep rail & curved spoon bow, & on the right is a 'tjalk', a Dutch sprig-sail barge. Beyond is a 'statenjacht', a vessel used by the States General (the chamber of representative of the Dutch United Provinces), for the transport of its members or foreign dignitaries, with the arms of the Province of Holland on her stern & a Dutch ensign. The church in the centre distance recalls Rotterdam Cathedral (St Lawrence), but the view is not topographically accurate. ...
The painting is dated to the early 1630s because of its similarity to pictures such as ' River Landscape with Fishermen' & ' River Scene', which is dated 1631. This is typical of van Ruysdael's compositions, with the bank of the river & the trees on the ...
The authenticity of the painting & of its signature & date has been confirmed by cleaning. Like most of Vernet's landscapes this scene is doubtless imaginary. It is among the last pictures he painted during his long stay in Rome. The building in the background recalls one of that city's most celebrated buildings, the Pantheon. ...
This is an early work by Haccou, who was born & trained in Middelburg. He was a pupil of Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek (1778 - 1851). ...
