Aert van der Neer

Wide river landscape by moonlight

Oil on canvas (relined). 54 x 73.5 cm.

It was Aert van der Neer's later paintings that established his fame as an artist. It was during this time that his colour palette darkened and the night or moonlit pictures emerged that provided his oeuvre with its unique appeal.
