Description: | Hobbema was a pupil of the leading Amsterdam landscape painter Jacob van Ruisdael, By 1689 he was painting only occasionally, having secured a well-paid job with the wine importers association of Amsterdam. Hobbema had no pupils, but imitators included Jan Looten, Cornelis Decker and Gerrit van Hees. Next to Rembrandt, no Dutch painter has had more forgeries attributed to him than Hobbema, especially at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th. There are several landscape painters of the period identified as deliberate imitators of Hobbema. This painting is a version or copy of Hobbema's A Wooded Landscape with Figures (about 1662, Cleveland Museum of Art), with some changes, particularly in the area of the sky and the cloud formations. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hobbema, Meindert (Dutch painter, 1638-1709) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8670... | Go to resource |
