"As well as providing a feast for the eyes, the best exhibitions break new ground and challenge the visitor. Adriaen van de Velde: Dutch Master of Landscape ... does all three with admirable aplomb."

Exhibition Highlight
"Van de Velde had a preference for sharp raking light, almost backlighting, which lends the entire image sculptural relief. Here too in this drawing he exploits the theatrical play of light and dark to maximum effect."
