A circa 1899 work by Piet Mondrian, 'Unloading the Barge near a Gas Lantern', showing a moored barge with horses, is being highlighted in connection with the Villa Mondriaan museum. The painting belongs to the Dutch artist's early period, long before the geometric abstract style he is best known for. Viewers are sharing and discussing the atmospheric scene, drawing attention to Mondrian's lesser-known figurative beginnings.

Why now: The work is currently on show or being promoted as part of an exhibition at the Villa Mondriaan museum.
