Brief Biography-Salomon van Ruysdael of Haarlem was a renowned painter of landscapes, and the uncle of Jacob Van Ruisdael, one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. His initial influence was from Esaias van de Velde, and he later took inspiration from Jan van Goyen to the extent that his paintings became quite similar. In 1623 Ruysdael was admitted to the Guild of Saint Luke and was Dean of the Haarlem Corporation in 1648. The marine artist Jan Porcellis from Ghent also influenced his work. |
