It’s an idyllic scene evoking afternoon light filtering through woodland, and the subject is typical of Rubens’s burst of interest in landscape painting in the last five years of his life. Rather than paid commissions, these appear to have been made mostly for his own pleasure, when he was spending more time in the country house he bought in 1635. The countryside surrounding the estate became a new inspiration: he made about 20 landscapes, some of monumental size.\n\nA Wagon fording a Stream is much smaller and is unfinished – you can tell this from the black chalk drafting lines and the way the foliage of most of the trees has yet to be filled in. It seems to be a full-size preparatory sketch for Evening Landscape with Timber Wagon (now in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam).\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/peter-paul-rubens-a-wagon-fording-a-stream\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - A Wagon fording a Stream\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Paul Rubens","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509896384755,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (18 1\/2\" x 27 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509896417523,"sku":null,"price":924.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (14 5\/8\" x 22\")","offer_id":50509896450291,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (17 7\/8\" x 26 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509896483059,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (21 7\/8\" x 32 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509896515827,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (28 1\/4\" x 42 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509896548595,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (34\" x 51 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509896581363,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (40\" x 60 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509896614131,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (48\" x 72 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509896646899,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/AWagonfordingaStream.jpg?v=1789907977","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/a-wagon-fording-a-stream-ngal1384","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
