EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jan van Goyen's masterpiece, "The Square Watch-Tower" painted in 1651. As a renowned Dutch artist, van Goyen dedicated his artistic career to capturing the essence of the canals and rivers that connected the countryside, city, and sea in the Netherlands. In this panoramic work of art, van Goyen skillfully depicts the vibrant rhythms of these vital waterways. The painting is adorned with various elements that bring life to its composition - ferries gracefully gliding across the water, fishing boats dotting the horizon, majestic castles standing tall along the banks, windmills spinning tirelessly in harmony with nature's forces, and church steeples reaching for the heavens. Measuring at an impressive size of 22 3/4 x 35 1/4 inches (57.8 x 89.5 cm), this oil panel transports viewers back to a time when these canals served as highways for transporting merchandise and livestock. Moreover, they were rich fishing grounds that sustained communities throughout generations. Jan van Goyen's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture both natural beauty and human activity make this artwork truly remarkable. This print allows us to appreciate not only van Goyen's talent but also serves as a window into a bygone era where water played such an integral role in shaping Dutch society.
