RUISDAEL, JACOB VAN, born in Haarlem about 1625(?), died there, buried, March 14, 1682. Dutch school; landscape painter, son and pupil of Izack van Ruisdael, probably also pupil of his uncle Salomon van Ruisdael; became the greatest landscape painter of the Dutch school. In 1648 he joined the guild of St. Luke at Haarlem, and in 1659 obtained the rights of citizenship at Amsterdam. Little appreciated by his contemporaries, he gained a scant maintenance by his art, and in 1681 became so impoverished that some of his fellow members of the Mennonite sect petitioned the Burgomaster of Haarlem to admit him to the public hospital. Many of his landscapes represent views in the environs of Haarlem and about Bentheim. His early works are remarkable for minute finish of accessories. The figures introduced in Ruisdael's landscapes are by Berchem, Adriaan van de Velde, Wouwerman, Lingelbach, Vermeer, and Eglon van der Neer. Ruisdael was an admirable etcher.
