Note du spécialiste

Between 1635 and 1667, Salomon van Ruysdael treated the subject of the halt before a country inn in nearly twenty extant paintings. In this mature example, Ruysdael has turned away from his earlier tonal tendencies in favor of a colorful palette and monumental design consistent with the then-fashionable ‘classical’ phase of Dutch landscape painting. Though the last digit is unclear, the painting likely dates to 1663 on account of its affinity with works such as Ruysdael’s View of a village from that year (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam). The church tower and other buildings in this painting are also nearly identical with those that feature in Ruysdael’s Village festival beneath a Maypole of 1655 (fig. 1; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna).
