Cathedral of Utrecht is a 1646 oil by Jan van Goyen, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a grand cathedral, with a tall tower rising high into the sky. The cathedral is surrounded by trees and a bridge, with people standing on it. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The artist has used a range of techniques to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured feel. The use of light and shadow adds to the sense of depth, with the tower of the cathedral standing out against the lighter sky.
