LOOTEN (Loten), JAN, born in Amsterdam about 1618, died in London in 1681. Dutch school; landscape painter. Seems to have worked first in Switzerland, then in Holland, and to have gone to England about 1662 and painted for Charles II. His usual subjects were rocky scenes, dark oak-woods, rushing torrents, and wild solitudes. An inky colouring detracts much from the effect of his finely composed, well-drawn, and truthful pictures. Was an imitator of Hobbema.
