Distant View with Cottages along a Road
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.
