Description
Wheat Fields. Artist: Jacob van Ruisdael (Dutch, Haarlem 1628/29-1682 Amsterdam). Dimensions: 39 3/8 x 51 1/4 in. (100 x 130.2 cm). Date: ca. 1670.
This large canvas of about 1670 is Ruisdael's most ambitious view of grain fields, a subject he treated frequently. The monumental design, with its centralized recession into space, might have been intended for a particular location, perhaps above a mantelpiece. During the seventeenth century, paintings of this size were usually hung high. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
