델프트의 풍경 by Johan Barthold Jongkind, ca. 1868

Johan Barthold Jongkind captures the Rotterdam Gate in Delft with loose, energetic brushstrokes that practically vibrate with light and atmosphere. Painted in 1868, this scene shows a quiet canal and white bridge leading up to the historic brick city gate, flanked by tall, leafy trees and tiny figures going about their day. Jongkind was a crucial bridge between the Dutch landscape tradition and the French Impressionists—in fact, he was a major mentor to Claude Monet and taught him how to paint outdoors! You can see his signature in the bottom right corner, marking a moment just before the Impressionist explosion changed art forever.
