Painting of the Month

Hobbema, 'The Avenue at Middelharnis', 1689

The lines of trees receding into the distance at the centre of this painting make a particularly eye-catching Dutch landscape. Why might Hobbema have chosen to use this device, and how does he present the countryside around the village of Middelharnis?
