Légende
Landscape with a Church by a Torrent , c. 1670. It is not known if Ruisdael considered his paintings to be social or moral commentary, for no documents from his lifetime indicate how the artist or his patrons interpreted the works. But in this painting dangerous rapids block access to the chapel, and severed logs litter the middleground, hinting at life?s transience and the challenge to reach salvation.
