 HJALTALIN, DORSTEIN ILLIA, born in Iceland in 1771, died at Brunswick in 1817. German school; landscape painter, pupil at Salzdahlum, Brunswick, of Johann Friedrich Weitsch, whom he even surpassed in the treatment of trees.

Studied diligently the famous works in the Salzdahlum Gallery, and in 1802 visited Dresden, where he painted two landscapes in the manner of Ruisdael that excited the admiration of connoisseurs.—Allgem. d. Biogr., xii. 383.

HOBBEMA, MEYNDERT (Minderhout), born at Koeverden or at Amsterdam (?) in 1638, died at Amsterdam, buried Dec. 14, 1709. Dutch school; landscape painter, formed himself under the influence of Jacob van Ruisdael. Much neglected in his life-time, and little esteemed, this painter now takes rank as one of the greatest masters of landscape art, thanks to the initiative of England, where nine-tenths of his works are to be found. With less inventive genius and less poetic feeling than Ruisdael, Hobbema surpassed him in truth to atmospheric effect, in tone, and in brilliancy of colour. These qualities give a magical beauty to the generally prosaic scenes which he habitually treated. Some of his landscapes are enlivened with figures by Pieter Bouts, Adrian van der Velde, Berghem, Lingelbach, Storck, Helt-Stokade, B. Gael, and Helmbreker. Works: Showery Weather, Avenue at Middelharnis, Ruins of Brederode Castle (1667), Village with Water-Mills, Forest Scene, Woody Landscape, Castle in Rocky Landscape, National Gallery, London; landscapes in Buckingham Palace (3), Bridgewater (3), Dulwich (2), and Grosvenor (2) Galleries, Hertford House, Baring, Dudley, Wynn Ellis, Holford, Lord Overstone's Collections, ib.; Glasgow Gallery (5); National Gallery, Edinburgh (2); Louvre, Paris; Museums of Bordeaux, Antwerp, Brussels (1663), Amsterdam (3), Rotterdam (2), Berlin, Darmstadt (1649), Dresden (2), Gotha, Königsberg, Leipsic (?), Stuttgart (2), Vienna, New York; Städel Gallery, Frankfort (2); Kunsthalle, Hamburg; Old Pinakothek, Munich; Hermitage, St. Petersburg (1663); Historical Society, New York (2).—Allgem. d.
