Harbour on the Mediterranean is a 1670 oil by Johannes Lingelbach, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Harbor, held at Mauritshuis.
This painting shows a bustling harbor scene. There are many people, some sitting or lying down, and others standing or riding horses. A man on horseback holds an umbrella, and there are barrels and boxes scattered around. In the background, there's a large body of water with ships and a cityscape. The sky is cloudy with a bit of blue peeking through. The scene is full of activity, with people going about their daily business. The artist has captured the sense of movement and energy in the harbor. The use of warm colors adds to the lively atmosphere.
