The present canvas finds iconographic and style correspondences with the works of Jacob Van Ruisdael, who painted the same subject in 1665. Here you can appreciate the taste for the picturesque, the atmospheric sensitivity, and the ability to evoke Arcadian scenarios with a seventeenth-century savor. On the top of a cloud-shrouded cliff stands the circular tower of a castle, below, a gurgling stream of water rushes headlong down a rocky slope.
Dear friends,
We are excited to inform you about the change of address for our gallery. Don’t worry – we haven’t moved far, just a few steps away! You can now find us at Lázeňská 285/11 - 118 00 Mala Strana, in a beautiful Baroque building full of history, known as Beethoven Palace or the House of the Golden and White Unicorn.
Come visit our new space and admire the works of old masters. We look forward to seeing you!
Your gallery team
