Distant View with Cottages along a Road — History & Facts
A few dunes provide the only relief in this otherwise sweeping landscape stretching out under a vast sky. Koninck specialized in flat landscapes, which he built up with countless dots, like the knots in a tapestry. His palette and loose painting style reveal the influence of Rembrandt.
The three cottages at the left are based on an etching by Rembrandt from 1650.
