專家說明

As became so characteristic of his mature work, in this picture, dated 1643, van Goyen employs a low horizon line, devoting more than two-thirds of the composition to the cloud-filled sky. The delicately rendered effects of light across the panel enliven the landscape and figures, accentuated by luminous hues of yellow, orange and brown. This carefully modulated tonality is heightened by van Goyen’s skilful use of a highly efficient method of painting, allowing the ground remain visible in places. The freely painted tower, which is depicted with remarkably loose strokes of paint, is demonstrative of the increased emphasis on architecture which began to characterise the artist's works from the 1640s onwards.
