Antique Trumeau Mirror w/ famous painting “The Windmill of Wijk bij Duurstede” by the Dutch painter Jacob van Ruisdael.
(c. 1670)
It is an example of Dutch Golden Age. The painting shows Wijk bij Duurstede, a riverside town about 20 kilometers from Utrecht, with a dominating cylindrical windmill, harmonised by the lines of river bank and sails, and the contrasts between light and shadow working together with the intensified concentration of mass and space. [1] The attention to detail is remarkable. Art historian Seymour Slive reports that both from an aeronautical engineering and a hydrological viewpoint the finest levels of details are correct, in the windmill's sails and the river's waves respectively.
*It is not known for certain when Ruisdael painted the Windmill. The painting is not dated, as very few of his works are after 1653.[3] Dating subsequent work has therefore been largely detective work and speculation. It is assumed that it was painted in 1670
