Hobbema, Meindert
Baptized Oct. 31, 1638, in Amsterdam; died there Dec. 7, 1709. Dutch landscape painter. Hobbema continued the traditions of J. van Ruisdael, whose pupil he probably was. After his appointment in 1669 as an excise official, he gradually devoted less time to painting. Hobbema primarily painted forest scenes. His landscapes, the best of which is The Avenue at Middelharnis (1689, National Gallery, London), anticipated to some extent the principles of 18th-century landscape painting. They are noted for dynamic composition, a rich palette, and depictions of the changeability of nature. REFERENCEBroulhiet, G. Meindert Hobbema. Paris, 1938.Want to thank TFD for its existence?
