Description
Detail, center section, windmill; The windmill rises up majestically, defying the dark rain clouds and overshadowing the castle and the church of Wijk bij Duurstede. The River Lek flows in the foreground. In this impressive composition, Ruisdael united all the typical Dutch elements, the low-lying land, the water and the expansive sky, manipulating them to converge on the equally characteristic Dutch watermill.
