aert van der neer

With remarkable subtlety, the master captured the mysterious shimmer of moonlight on Amsterdam’s canals, the gentle glow of sunset over calm waters, and the warm lights glowing from houses nestled in winter twilight. Van der Neer transformed ordinary Dutch scenes — ice-covered canals with skaters, quiet river inlets, and rustic village edges — into works imbued with lyricism and mystery. The striking interplay between cold moonlit reflections and the warm radiance spilling from windows lends his paintings their distinctive expressiveness. Among the artist’s most celebrated paintings are Sports on a Frozen River and River Landscape in Moonlight. Today, his canvases hold a place of honor in the collections of leading museums worldwide, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the National Gallery in London, and the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden.
