River View by Moonlight

Aert van der Neerca. 1650 - ca. 1655

Rijksmuseum

Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands

Van der Neer was a painter with two specialities: winter scenes and nocturnal moonlit landscapes. With a limited range of colours, Van der Neer here created the perfect illusion of a moonlit night. The chilly moonlight is reflected in the water, glances off the windowpanes of the houses at left, and lights up the white feathers of the ducks in the foreground.
