In the life of Jacob Isaacksz. van Ruisdael
The whole life1640s
Trips to Blaricum, Egmond aan Zee and Rhenen
For a landscape painter Ruisdael travelled little: in the 1640s he visited Blaricum, his grandfather's home village, Egmond aan Zee and Rhenen.
1646
First dated paintings and etchings
The earliest date on Ruisdael's paintings and etchings is 1646; the young man was strongly influenced by the Haarlem landscape painters Cornelis Vroom and Allart van Everdingen. Two years later he was admitted to the Haarlem Guild of St Luke.
1650
Journey to Germany with Nicolaes Berchem
With Nicolaes Berchem, one of the painters who would later add figures to his landscapes, Ruisdael travels to Bentheim and Steinfurt, just across the German border (other accounts date the trip to Westphalia to around 1650). Afterwards his landscapes take on a more heroic character, with larger and more prominent forms.
