Two Peasants and their Dog
Landscape with a Windmill
The Wheat Field
Landscape with Waterfall
A tumbling Scandinavian torrent — even though Ruisdael never left the Low Countries. He drew on Allaert van Everdingen's Norwegian sketches to invent the first Northern European sublime landscape.
Low Waterfall in a Wooded Landscape with a Dead Beech Tree
Wooded and Hilly Landscape
Landscape with a Church by a Torrent
The Windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede
A cylinder-tower mill rises over the Lower Rhine, storm clouds massing behind it. Three women at the water's edge, a boat approaching. Dutch landscape at its weightiest — small figures under an immense sky.
