Goyen, Jan van
Born Jan. 13, 1596, in Leiden; died Apr. 27, 1656, in The Hague. Dutch landscape painter. Van Goyen studied with E. van de Velde in Haarlem in 1616 and 1617. He began to work in Leiden in 1618 and in The Hague in 1634. During his mature years (beginning in 1640) he painted misty landscapes in tones of brown and gray, and views of slow-flowing rivers and canals with cities and villages on their low banks, under boundless skies occupying two-thirds of the painting (The Maas River Near Dordrecht, 1643, in the Hermitage, Leningrad; View of the Vaal River Near Neimegen, 1649, in the A. S. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow; View on the Maas River, 1645, in the Hermitage, Leningrad; and The Mouth of the River, 1655, in Mauritshuis, in The Hague). He was one of the creators of the Dutch school of realistic landscape painting in the 17th century, and he also did some etchings. REFERENCESFekhner, E. Iu.

No references found | Jan van Goyen occasionally stayed at Isaac's house during Jacob's childhood, although Jacob never painted in van Goyen's style of near-monochrome tonality. com In conjunction with the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt's birth in 2006, Rembrandt And His Time: Masterworks From The Albertina, Vienna is the companion book to the Milwaukee Art Museum's exhibition of twenty-seven of Rembrandt's most important works, as well as drawings by Roelant Savery, David Vinckboons, Jacques de Gheyn II, Hendrick Avercamp, Jan van Goyen, and Esaias van de Velde which offer some of the earliest examples of naturalism. Loosely defined as such, the genre includes a wide range of pictures, from the foundational Small Landscapes published in 1559 by Hieronymus Cock, through the multiple print series of the 1610s of the local land around Haarlem, to the dunes and hovels of Jan van Goyen and the gnarled trees of Jacob van Ruisdael. |
