Ruysdael, Salomon van

 orig. Salomon de Goyer

(born c. 1600, Naarden, United Provinces—buried Nov. 1, 1670, Haarlem, Neth.) Dutch landscape painter. Uncle of Jacob van Ruisdael, he entered the Haarlem painters' guild in 1623 and became its head in 1648. Unlike other Baroque landscape painters of the period, including his nephew, Ruysdael generally painted actual landscapes, sometimes combining motifs from several places in one picture. His powerful later work exhibits a command of landscape elements and an increasing use of colour for effect.
