Caption

Salomon van Ruysdael enjoyed a great success in his lifetime with pictures of the quite life of the inland watercourses of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. This picture demonstrates his move towards a more vibrant palette at this stage of his career, and a greater complexity of composition that draws the eye to the distance.

Summary

Oil painting on oak panel, River Scene with a Ferry Boat, by Salomon van Ruysdael (Naarden 1600/03 - Haarlem 1670), signed and dated: "S v Ruysdael 1647". A view looking down a river; in the centre a ferry boat laden with a horse and rider, peasants and cattle; on the left among trees, farm buildings and a church; in the distance sailing vessels and small craft.
