Landscape with view on Rhenen is a 1659 oil by Salomon van Ruysdael, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with a view of Rhenen. In the foreground, there's a brown hill with cows grazing on it. The background features a blue sky with white clouds, and a body of water with boats on it. A interesting detail is the way the artist used light and shadow to create depth in the painting. The light comes from the left side of the painting, casting shadows on the right side. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of Salomon van Ruysdael.
