À propos du tableau
A hilly verdant landscape with a river crossed by a bridge and a meandering dirt road leading to an inn in the middle distance. Jan Wijnants (ca. 1635- 1684) was a Dutch landscape painter from Haarlem. A typical work is his Landscape with a Dead Tree and a Peasant Driving a Sheep along a Road (1659; London, N.G.) which includes the stark tree-trunk, a motif derived from Jacob van Ruisdael, which became a leitmotif in Wijnant’s paintings in the second half of his career and figures at the left of 553-1870. By December 1660 Wijnants was in Amsterdam, where he remained for the rest of his life. Wijnants followed in the tradition of dune painting established by Pieter de Molijn, Philips Wouwerman, van Ruisdael and others. The painter of 553-1870 has depicted sunlight entering through the clouds to illuminate the hills at left and cast the right side of the painting into shadow.

Analagously, the meandering dirt track draws the eye into the painting and create a sense of depth. The space is not entirely resolved however and the light passing through the clouds lacks the luminous quality characteristic of Wijnants, suggesting that the picture is a later work by one of Wijnants less skilled followers.
