Landscape with Canal is a 1894 oil by Jacob Maris, a Impressionism work, held at Walters Art Museum.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a canal, featuring a windmill on the left side and a few figures in the distance. The scene is set against a cloudy sky, with the windmill's sails visible and a small boat on the water. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture, with visible brushstrokes adding to the overall effect. The color palette is muted, with shades of gray and brown dominating the scene. For more information on the artist's technique, explore the concept of impasto, which involves applying thick layers of paint to create a raised surface.
