Style

Aelbert Cuyp was part of Dutch Golden Age landscape painting known as "tonalism." This art movement style emphasized creating depth through tonal variation rather than relying on linear perspective alone. In this particular work, he demonstrates his mastery over atmospheric effects by using soft gradients that create a sense of distance within the landscape. Cuyp’s paintings often exude warmth through his delicate application of light and use of golden hues; this creates an overall tranquil mood which characterizes much his oeuvre.
