Jacob van Ruisdael (1629-1682) A Dutch master and landscape artist during the Golden Age of the Baroque. Born in Haarlem, he studied with his father and uncle and later sold frames. His work was influenced by the masters of the time. Although his talent was extraordinary, his paintings were, in his time, misunderstood. Therefore, in 1676, he began studying medicine in Amsterdam. Like Ruisdael, he painted forest landscapes, in which he demanded a myriad of details of plants and trees, the play of light and shadow and the reality of clouds (for example, Landscape with Rapids < / a>). In his views of cities and buildings in the landscape, such as Water Mills, we see the influence of Rembrandt.
