We are grateful to Frits Duparc for confirming the attribution of the present painting after examination of the original.
This delicately composed and subtly observed landscape unites all of the characteristic features of Ruisdael’s art that made him one of the most pre-eminent landscape painters. The great connoisseur and art dealer John Smith, author of the Catalogue Raisonné of the Most Eminent Dutch Painters, owned this painting twice, in 1844 and again in 1861. The notes in Hofstede de Groot’s personal copy of the catalogue suggest that he also knew the original painting. He correctly remarked that the signature was in the picture’s lower right corner. Seymour Slive rightly included the picture in his catalogue raisonné, although he only knew it via an engraved reproduction by Benjamin Damman. Recent cleaning of the painting has restored it to its original beauty.
Jacob van Ruisdael is generally considered the most outstanding Dutch landscape painter of the ‘Golden Eeuw’, the 17th century. Although his extensive oeuvre consists exclusively of landscapes, he managed to arrive at amazing variations within the genre. His paintings inspired such artists as Thomas Gainsborough in the 18th century and John Constable in the 19th century. Walther Bernt writes about Ruisdael: ‘Ruisdael’s art influenced the entire output of landscape painting until the end of the 19th century. None of his countless contemporary imitators or the later copyists and forgers succeeded in expressing the deep gravity of his cosmic landscapes’.
