1690 · Tate Gallery, London

Even in its later period, Flemish landscape painting retains the main distinguishing characteristics that emerged as early as the 16th century in the works of such atrists as Pieter Brueghel and Momper. This painting shows a sweeping view from a slightly elevated position, sloping down over the cattle pastures in the foreground towards a river plied by a cargo boat on the left and with a village on its banks to the right. Towards the background, the terrain slopes upwards again, with fields under changing sunlight and clouds, and a double rainbow in the sky.Show more
