## Commentary

Coastal Scene with Resting Riders c. 1652 Oil on canvas, 71 x 96 cm Akademie der bildenden Künste, Vienna This coastal scene shows the painter&#39;s familiar compositional style. Pictorial depth is created out of the contrast between close-up and distant views, between the anecdotal and comical observation of the resting riders disputing over which route to take next and the soft forms of the remote mountains beyond the bay.
