The essence and definition of painting is, the imitation of visible objects, by means of form and colors: Wherefore the more, forcibly and faithfully painting imitates nature, the more directly and rapidly does it lead us to its end, which is to deceive the eye; and the surer proofs does it give us of its true idea.

Landscape with a mill-run and ruins by Jacob van Ruisdael
Mill-run and Ruins is a painting by Jacob van Ruisdael. It was painted in c.1653. Jacob van Ruisdael was born in Haarlem. He often regarded as one of the greatest Dutch landscape painters of 17th-century Holland, and the foremost exponent of the classical phase of Dutch landscape painting. He was able to create a poetic and sometimes brooding or tragic mood in his landscapes.
His subjects and style varied throughout his career, leading to a dynamic oeuvre that comprises around 700 paintings, 100 drawings, and several etchings. He appears to have been strongly influenced by other contemporary local Haarlem landscapists, most notably Cornelis Vroom and Allart van Everdingen.
