The River Scene painted by Jan Hackaert in 1660 is a stunning example of Baroque landscape painting. This beautiful oil on canvas piece, measuring 42 x 54 cm, is housed at the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne, Germany. The painting showcases Hackaert's skill in capturing the serenity and beauty of nature.

The Painting's Composition

The scene is dominated by a tranquil river that meanders through the landscape, its calm waters reflecting the surrounding trees and hills. On either side of the river, lush greenery thrives, with trees standing tall and bushes dotting the landscape. The artist has used a palette rich in greens and browns to bring this natural setting to life. In the foreground, several figures are engaged in various activities, adding a sense of scale and life to the otherwise tranquil landscape.

Open full description

Jan Hackaert

Jan Hackaert was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
He travelled in Germany and Switzerland, and painted and sketched mostly landscapes. He would sketch miners at work in the mountains, and on more than one occasion this caused him trouble because the workers couldn't understand what he was doing. They felt he was either a spy or hexing them and made a complaint. Because Italianate landscapes were so fashionable, his Lake Zurich was mistaken for an Italian lake for years.
He painted the landscape backgrounds for other painters, such as Nicolas Berchem and Adriaen van de Velde.
