View of Naarden with the Church at Muiderberg in the Distance (1647) by Van Ruisdael

Jacob van Ruisdael, a celebrated landscape painter from 17th-century Holland, was widely recognized as the foremost representative of the classical era in Dutch landscape art.

Among the influential Dutch artists of the seventeenth century, Ruisdael's talent as a landscapist was unmatched, as he adeptly depicted a diverse array of landscape themes.

The landscape presented here represents one of Ruisdael's early works, exhibiting distinct influences from Jan van Goyen, Hercules Pietersz Segers, and Hendrick Goltzius.
