This painting shows a busy river packed with ships. Some boats have red and blue flags flying high. In the distance, a big stone bridge and tall buildings line the shore. The sky is a flat blue, and the water is calm. The ships look old-fashioned, with lots of sails and small crews rowing. The buildings on the right have spires and domes, like a mix of churches and towers. If you like this scene, check out the Baroque movement next.
