# River Landscape [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [WYNANTS, Jan]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on panel, 26 x 25 cm ## Commentary The picture shows a river landscape with elegant travelers and a beggar in a dune landscape. Throughout his career, Wynants drew inspiration for his landscapes from the dunes near his native Haarlem. The artist often employed a similar compositional structure in his landscapes, with a path winding through the undulating dunes and receding into the distance. Here, as in many of his paintings, the left side of the picture is built up with dunes and trees while the right side opens up to a panoramic view, creating a sense of space. The staffage in Wynants's paintings was often added by other artists. In the present case Johannes Lingelbach was the collaborator. ## Related artworks - [A Hilly Landscape]() - [Dune Landscape]() - [Landscape with a Ruined Archway]() - [Landscape with Dune]() - [Parable of the Good Samaritan]() - [Road beside the Forest \(detail\)]() - [Wooded Evening Landscape \(detail\)]() - [Wooded Evening Landscape]() - [Wooded Landscape]() - [Wooded Landscape]() - [Wooded Landscape with a Dead Tree]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
