RUISDAEL, JACOB VAN, born in Haarlem
about 1625(?), died there, buried, March
14, 1682. Dutch school; landscape painter,
son and pupil of Izack van Ruisdael,
probably also pupil of his uncle Salomon van
Ruisdael; became the greatest landscape
painter of the Dutch school. In 1648 he
joined the guild of St. Luke at Haarlem, and
in 1659 obtained the rights of citizenship at
Amsterdam. Little appreciated by his contemporaries,
he gained a scant maintenance
by his art, and in 1681 became so impoverished
that some of his fellow members of the
Mennonite sect petitioned the Burgomaster
of Haarlem to admit him to the public hospital.
Many of his landscapes represent
views in the environs of Haarlem and about
Bentheim. His early works are remarkable
for minute finish of accessories. The figures
introduced in Ruisdael's landscapes are
by Berchem, Adriaan van de Velde, Wouwerman,
Lingelbach, Vermeer, and Eglon
van der Neer. Ruisdael was an admirable
etcher. Works: Landscape with Ruins
