Landing a Boat
before 1650
Philips Wouwerman brings a bustling riverbank to life with his signature dramatic skies and beloved horses. In this lively Baroque scene, laborers struggle under the weight of massive sacks while a white horse stands patiently amidst the chaos. Notice the guy taking a quick nap on the ground with his dog—Wouwerman loved sneaking these little moments of everyday humanity into his grand landscapes. He was famous for painting horses in almost every single piece he created, making this resting white mare a classic hallmark of his style.
