Artwork depiction by The Metropolitan Museum of Art website (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

In this mature work Van Ruysdael seems to follow the advice given to painters by Karel van Mander in 1604: "But above all do not forget to put small figures under tall trees. . . Make the countryside, the town, and the water full of activity, the houses inhabited, and the roads traveled." The composition, with its curving forms focused on a low bridge and trees sweeping up to clouds, is typical of the late 1640s: similar designs were employed by the artist's famous nephew, Jacob van Ruisdael, and by other Haarlem landscapists such as Pieter Molijn.

Available material choices

We offer a range of different materials and sizes for every product. Select your favorite size and material between the following alternatives:

• Acrylic glass print: A glossy acrylic glass print, often referenced as a UV print on plexiglass, will transform your favorite artwork into décor and forms a distinct alternative to aluminium or canvas fine art replicas. The work of art is manufactured with state-of-the-art UV direct print machines. This creates the image effect of vivid and stunning colors. The major advantage of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and granular artwork details become identifiable with the help of the fine tonal gradation in the picture. The acrylic glass protects your selected fine art print against sunlight and heat for up to six decades.
• Canvas: A printed canvas material applied on a wooden stretcher frame. How can I hang a canvas print on the wall? The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Poster (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed cotton canvas with a slightly roughened surface finish. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the print motif in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Metal print (aluminium dibond): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with an outstanding depth effect. The bright & white parts of the artwork shimmer with a silk gloss, however without the glow. The colors are vivid and luminous in the highest definition, fine details of the print appear clear and crisp, and there’s a matte appearance you can literally feel.
