Jacob van Ruisdael (1628-1682) is considered one of the great Dutch masters of landscape painting. Inspired by his surroundings and from the tales of travelers he met, he created paintings that evoke emotion and contemplation. Van Ruisdael also used his imagination to create dramatic scenes and some of the most astonishing landscape art works ever produced. Though van Ruisdael was most famous for his landscape paintings, he also produced a small but impressive collection of etchings.
