On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 638
Painted in Leiden in 1627, this small panel is one of the
earliest examples of a diagonal design that the artist would use until
about 1640. Although Van Goyen worked in Haarlem only when he studied
with Esaias van de Velde (1617–18), his tonal manner was well known to
Haarlem painters such as Salomon van Ruysdael and Pieter de Molijn. http://bit.ly/2wd07xY
