An Evening River Landscape with a Ferry (other title: River Landscape) is a 1643 painting by the Dutch painter Jan van Goyen. The painting was bought in 1890 in Paris by Wilhelm von Bode. It is now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France. Its inventory number is 221.[1][2]

Not without pride, the 2009 catalogue of the Flemish and Dutch paintings of the Musée des Beaux-Arts calls Van Goyen's painting "indisputably one of the most beautiful landscape paintings of the Dutch school" (sans conteste l′un des plus beaux paysages de la peinture hollandaise).[1]
