RUISDAEL, JACOB VAN, born in Haar- lem about 1625 (?), died there, buried, March 14, 1682. Dutch school ; landscape paint- er, son and pupil of Izack van Ruisdael, probably also pupil of his uncle Salomon van Ruisdael ; became the greatest landscape painter of the Dutch school. In 1648 he joined the guild of St. Luke at Haarlem, and in 1659 obtained the rights of citizenship at Amsterdam. Little appreciated by his con- temporaries, he gained a scant maintenance by his art, and in 1681 became so impover- ished that some of his fellow members of the Mennonite sect petitioned the Burgomaster of Haarlem to admit him to the public hos- pital. Many of his landscapes represent views in the environs of Haarlem and about Bentheim. His early works are remarkable for minute finish of accessories. The fig- ures introduced in Ruisdael's landscapes are by Berchem, Adriaan van de Velde, Wou- werman, Lingelbach, Vermeer, and Eglon van der Neer. Ruisdael was an admirable etcher.
