Remigius van Haanen (Circle), Twilight Landscape With River Crossing

Remigius van Haanen (Circle), Twilight Landscape With River CrossingThis beautiful mid 19th century Dutch school oil painting depicts figures crossing a river at twilight. Its reminiscent of works by Remigius van Haanen (1812 1894), a distinguished painter etcher of landscapes and genre scenes. A sturdy wooden barge laden with goods carries five figures across a restful waterway as a hazy, partially obscured sun, falls gently towards the horizon. A distant spire, nestled beyond trees, punctures the drifting clouds.
