Jacob Isaackszoon Van Ruisdael
Jacob van Ruisdael was one of the most famous landscape painters of 17th-century Holland, and the foremost exponent of the classical phase of Dutch landscape painting. He was able to create a poetic, and sometimes brooding or tragic mood, in his landscapes. This can be seen especially in his mature works, such as 'A Pool Surrounded by Trees', in the Collection.
Ruisdael was born in Haarlem, the son of a little known painter, Isaack Jacobsz van Ruisdael; who was also a dealer, and frame-maker. He probably trained with his uncle Salomon van Ruysdael; and in 1648, became a member of the Haarlem Painters' Guild. Around 1650, he travelled to the hilly area around Bentheim, across the German border.
From the late 1650s, he also painted waterfalls based on the work of Allart van Everdingen; with whom he had travelled, in Scandinavia. By 1657, Ruisdael had settled in Amsterdam, and in his later years, is said to have also practised as a physician, there. He was buried in Haarlem.

Painting is in very good condition. There is a small hole, in the very middle of the board panel, as shown. The panel is flat, but is not completely even, (board is a little shorter, lower left corner). Painting is in original condition, with no overpaints, restorations, or chemical cleanings. Please review images for detail.
