Aan het IJ is a 1896 oil by Eduard Karsen, a Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a river, with a few boats docked along the shore. The sky above is a soft, muted gray, with hints of blue peeking through the clouds. In the foreground, a large structure dominates the right side of the canvas, while a smaller building stands on the opposite bank. The artist's use of muted colors creates a sense of calmness, drawing the viewer's attention to the gentle ripples on the water's surface. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting. For more works by this artist, explore the collection of Eduard Karsen.
