專家說明
Painted in 1632, the year in which Van Goyen moved from Leiden to the capital The Hague, this is one of the artist's largest pictures and a veritable statement of his ambition as a landscape painter in the early 1630’s. By this time Van Goyen had fully evolved his ‘tonal’ style, which relied on a limited palette and a harmonious, unified structure. This view of a calm river under a bright sky is an excellent example and its success is attested to by two smaller copies listed by Beck, one on panel, and one on canvas showing the composition in reverse (loc. cit). The painterly rendering of the three fishermen hauling in their nets is an idea that the artist probably first developed on paper. An early drawing in which they feature before a distant view of Leiden is in Rotterdam (Museum Boymans van Beuningen).
