About this work

This painting shows a round tower rising above green fields under a cloudy sky. Light hits the tower’s left side, making it glow against the darker landscape. Hendrick Frans van Lint often painted Italian-style ruins, even in his Dutch landscapes. This tower looks Roman, but he never left Italy. The soft light and smooth brushwork give the scene a quiet, dreamy mood. Check out more of Lint, Hendrick Frans van’s work at the Museum of Ethnography.
