Painting by the Dutch painter Jacob van Ruysdael “Big Oak”. The size of the painting is 76 x 98 cm, oil on canvas. Like other contemporaries, the masters of the landscape, Reisdal, when painting, often worked together with other artists, who animated the landscape with small figures of people and animals.
Adrian van de Velde and Philips Vowerman collaborated most often with Reisdal. After the 1660s, Ruysdal’s landscapes become more majestic, and his palette is brighter, enriched with multi-layered overlay of colors, which undoubtedly adds to the depth and characteristic style of the foliage and tree trunks in his paintings.
Most of the landscapes by Jacob van Ruysdael are devoted to the nature of his native Holland, but the artist also painted oak forests and groves of the northern lands of Germany, such as in the picture “The Big Oak”.
