Jacob van
Ruisdae celebrates the flatlands outside Haarlem that had been reclaimed from
the sea as part of a massive landfill project. The sky which takes up about
two-thirds of the view help creates a majestic scene covering large amounts of
terrain. Jacob compared it with God’s restoration of the Earth after
Noah s Flood. Such a religious interpretation may be referenced here in the
prominent Gothic church of St. Bavo, looming on the horizon.
