Landscape with a Stream is a 1628 oil by Jan van Goyen, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a stream running through it. In the foreground, a man in a red jacket and a woman in a blue dress are in a boat, with the man holding an oar. The stream is surrounded by trees and bushes, with a bridge visible in the background. The sky above is a soft blue. The painting's use of warm colors and soft brushstrokes creates a sense of tranquility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the light reflects off the water and the textures of the trees and foliage.
