Summer

Jan van Goyen (signed by artist), 1625

Small round landscapes were in great demand among people who bought art. Van Goyen produced scores of them over the years. This little painting not only depicts a village by the water, but also symbolizes summer. It accompanies a painting of winter, which is also on view in this gallery.
