Jacob van Ruisdael View of the Bank of a Stream Notecard

Jacob van Ruisdael (1628-1682) is known for his many pastoral and woodland landscapes. View of the Bank of a Stream with Trees and a Road features the landscape above the figure of a farmer driving a cow in the distance, or the couple in the foreground, motifs that are integral to the composition when observed in detail.

This notecard was designed to accompany the exhibition Far and Away: Drawings from the Clement C. Moore Collection on view at the Morgan Library & Museum June 28, 2024 through September 22, 2024.
