The Windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede, Jacob Isaacksz van Ruisdael, c. 1668 - c. 1670 - Rijksmuseum
De molen bij Wijk bij Duurstede, Jacob Isaacksz. van Ruisdael, ca. 1668 - ca. 1670. Viewed from a low perspective, the mill contrasts majestically against the dark sky. The river in the foreground is the Lek. This is the epitome of a Dutch landscape: flat country, lots of water, sky and windmills.
