Winter Landscape with Skaters and Fishermen
Jan van Goyen Dutch
Not on view
Known for tonal, monochromatic landscape paintings in his later years, the Haarlem artist Jan van Goyen made hundreds of chalk drawings from nature in his travels throughout Holland, the Southern Netherlands, and the area around Cleve. Although many of these scenes ultimately informed his paintings, rarely were they directly preparatory. This winter view of 1647 appears to have no painted corollary and the site has not been identified.
