GOYEN, Jan van
(b. 1596, Leiden, d. 1656, Den Haag)

View of Nijmegen

1649
Oil on oak, 68 x 98 cm
Staatliche Museen, Berlin

One of Jan van Goyen favourite views was that of Nijmegen, shown in a magisterial, possibly autumnal image, where a coach is being ferried across the water in the foreground. It was painted with a severely, effectively restricted palette.
