# River Landscape [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [OOSTEN, Izaac van]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on panel, 42 x 54 cm ## Commentary The picture shows a river landscape with cattle and travellers, a ruin at the right and a view of a town beyond. This Italianate landscape offers a panoramic view over an extensive river landscape, with a village in the back left and on the horizon. Izaac van Oosten liked to paint simple, open landscapes favouring Mediterranean landscapes. Since there is no evidence that he ever travelled to Italy, it is assumed that his Italianate landscapes are purely imaginary and based on the works of his contemporaries. ## Related artworks - [Ebony Veneered Cabinet \(detail\)]() - [Ebony Veneered Cabinet]() - [Extensive Landscape with Travellers on a Road]() - [Landscape]() - [Landscape]() - [Landscape with a Cavalry Group]() - [Summer Landscape]() - [The Fall of Man]() - [Wooded Landscape]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
