Abstract
    Many of van Goyen’s contemporaries churned out commissions of sitters in their Sunday best. Unthreatening vases adrift in flowering profusions, still lifes of dead ducks and hanging venison, entire villages buttoned up in woolies, communing happily on ice skates. Or paradise scenes from the antediluvian. Van Goyen went further, managing to make the menacing world of imposing towers over troubled waters, darkening skies, and the unstoppable threat of watery chasms inexplicably amenable, their brilliant light focusing upon the inner strength of character the Dutch were granted by their very landscapes.
