The Ferry - Salomon van Ruysdael
The ferry and Dutch light: the art of Salomon van Ruysdael
This painting captures a river scene where the discreet movement of the boat harmonizes with a palette of grays, greens, and warm ochres. The composition favors a low horizon, allowing the sky to occupy most of the space and diffuse an atmosphere both melancholic and luminous. The brushstrokes, fine and delicate, reflect the careful observation of atmospheric effects characteristic of the 17th-century Dutch school. Observing each reflection on the water, one feels the silent melody of the landscape and the painter's mastery in translating reality into visual emotion.
