Painting by Dutch painter Jacob van Ruysdael “Landscape with a Mill”. The size of the picture is 63 x 79 cm, oil on canvas. The artist Jacob van Ruysdal, unlike most of the painters of his time, felt amazingly subtle the mood of the landscape and the purpose of each landscape detail.
In the seventeenth century, landscape painting in the United Independent Provinces of Holland experienced its heyday, but paintings by Jacob van Ruysdael are by no means lost among this variety of works by other Dutch landscape painters.
None of the modern Reysdalu masters of landscape can not be compared with him in the expression, color, diversity and uniqueness of the plots. The art of Jacob van Ruysdael had a very noticeable and tangible influence on several generations of landscape masters not only in Holland, but also in other Western European countries.
