Ships in Distress off a Rocky Coast by Ludolf Backhuysen

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/65898-ships-distress-rocky-coast

The three cargo ships in this large painting are the type of wide-bellied, seagoing vessels used to transport much of the commodities that generated the wealth of the Dutch in the seventeenth century.

Landscape with Herdsmen by Aelbert Cuyp

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/100926-landscape-herdsmen

This bucolic landscape depicts two horsemen who have stopped on a small rise overlooking a broad river valley to ask local herdsmen for directions. With figures and cattle silhouetted against an expansive sky and late afternoon light bathing the scene in a golden glow, the painting conveys the sense of peace and tranquility that pervaded the Netherlands after the signing of the Treaty of Münster in 1648 that ended the war against Spain and finally established the Dutch Republic.

Mortlake Terrace by Joseph Mallord William Turner

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/116-mortlake-terrace

This painting, one of two views of Mortlake Terrace painted by Turner, is a view from the house, looking directly west into the luminous glow of the setting sun. Turner established the quiet mood of the late-afternoon scene with two ivy-covered elm trees, whose soft, feathery leaves and curving limbs frame the painting.
