Landscape with a River and a Gatehouse is a 1614 by Esaias van de Velde, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a landscape with a river and a gatehouse. The scene is set in a rural area, with trees and fields surrounding the gatehouse. A few people are visible in the distance, and a boat is floating on the river. The painting has a serene and peaceful atmosphere, with soft colors and gentle brushstrokes. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast in the scene, with the gatehouse and trees standing out against the lighter sky.
