River Landscape

River Landscape, a 1632 painting by Salomon van Ruysdael, is housed in the Alte Pinakothek. This landscape painting, measuring 0.944 meters wide and 0.655 meters high, depicts a tranquil river scene. The foreground shows a calm river reflecting the surrounding landscape. On the riverbank, there's a thatched-roof building, and figures are visible near a boat carrying cattle. Lush greenery, including a large, prominent tree, dominates the left and middle ground, while the right side shows a continuation of the riverbank with more trees. The sky is a muted, cloudy light.
