Panorama near Arnhem with the Rhine Gate is a 1649 oil by Joris van der Haagen, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Mauritshuis.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a river in the foreground, flanked by trees and a bridge on the left. In the distance, a gate and buildings are visible, set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. The scene is rendered in muted tones, with the river reflecting the colors of the sky. A notable detail is the subtle play of light and shadow on the trees and the buildings, which adds depth to the scene. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye to the distant gate and buildings.
