Jan van Goyen

RIVER LANDSCAPE WITH A WINDMILL

Oil on panel. 38 x 51 cm (oval).
VG 1647 (on the boat).

Hans-Ulrich Beck lists 30 oval paintings by Jan van Goyen. Most of them appear in the 1640s, whereby their measurements correlate with those of our painting. One of the largest oval pictures by van Goyen can be found in the Gemäldegalerie, Dresden. This was painted in 1643 and measures 68 x 90.5 cm. With a few exceptions this format was used for river landscapes with architectural staffage on one side.
