1656 (ca.), Jan van Goyen, An Estuary with Fishing Boats and Two Frigates -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: We do not know whether this painting represents a specific place. It is more likely to be an amalgamation of small scenes based on van Goyen's many drawings. The fluid brushstrokes show that he worked extremely fast, but speed did not prevent him from conveying a poetic vision that holds the gaze and appeals to the imagination.
