| Aelbert Cuyp - Dordrecht harbor by moonlight. c. 1643-45 |
This romantic painting depicts a moonlit river landscape with two sailing boats, Typically Dutch flat-bottom ships used for transport on rivers, canals and lakes. Lit by the moon a windmill stands by the river, acting as a beacon in the flat landscape. The panel is one of a handful of nocturnal scenes executed by Cuyp.
