Both artists used a very restricted colour scheme of greys, browns and greens which helps capture the mood of the prevailing weather. But they avoided too much gloominess by setting the horizon very low on the canvas so that the sky dominates, filling the composition with a sense of airiness.\n\nHere, Cuyp showed his talent for other subtle light effects: he used the strongest shades in the foreground, where the water turns almost black, while the brightness in the middle of the painting lifts the atmosphere. The thin strip of land beyond shimmers between water and sky, and the clouds take the eye upwards.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/aelbert-cuyp-a-river-scene-with-distant-windmills\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - A River Scene with Distant Windmills\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aelbert Cuyp","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509361185011,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (14\" x 20 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509361217779,"sku":null,"price":635.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (14 3\/4\" x 21 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509361250547,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (18\" x 26 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509361283315,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (22 1\/8\" x 32 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509361316083,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (28 1\/2\" x 42\")","offer_id":50509361348851,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (34 1\/4\" x 50 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509361381619,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (40 3\/8\" x 59 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509361414387,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (48 3\/8\" x 71 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509361447155,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ARiverScenewithDistantWindmills.jpg?v=1789449414","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/a-river-scene-with-distant-windmills-ngal38","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
