Landscapist Salomon van Ruysdael specialized in pastoral scenes called ruis-daal, or nature pictures of water running through the wilderness (which is what his last name meant). The artist’s “Ferry Boat” is a charmingly contemplative canvas featuring a branch of the Rhine River that still feeds farms today.
