Jacob's earliest biographer, Arnold Houbraken, called him Jakob Ruisdaal. Jacob himself always spelled his name with an "i", while his cousin, Salomon's son Jacob Salomonszoon van Ruysdael, also a landscape artist, spelled his name with a "y". Two of De Goyer's sons became painters: Jacob's father Isaack van Ruisdael and his well-known uncle Salomon van Ruysdael. When De Goyer moved away to Naarden, three of his sons changed their name to Van Ruysdael or Van Ruisdael, probably to indicate their origin. The village was the home of Jacob's grandfather, the furniture maker Jacob de Goyer. The name Ruisdael is connected to a castle, now lost, in the village of Blaricum. The number of painters in the family, and the multiple spellings of the Van Ruisdael name, have hampered attempts to document his life and attribute his works. Jacob Isaackszoon van Ruisdael was born in Haarlem in 1628 or 1629 into a family of painters, all landscapists.
Ruisdael shaped landscape painting traditions worldwide, from the English Romantics to the Barbizon school in France, and the Hudson River School in the US, and influenced generations of Dutch landscape artists.Ī View of Egmond aan Zee ( c.

Ruisdael always spelt his name thus: Ruisdael, not Ruysdael. Hobbema's work has at times been confused with Ruisdael's. Ruisdael's only registered pupil was Meindert Hobbema, one of several artists who painted figures in his landscapes. In total he produced more than 150 Scandinavian views featuring waterfalls. In these, the sky often took up two-thirds of the canvas. In his late work, conducted when he lived and worked in Amsterdam, he added city panoramas and seascapes to his regular repertoire. After a trip to Germany in 1650, his landscapes took on a more heroic character. From 1646 he painted Dutch countryside scenes of remarkable quality for a young man.
Prolific and versatile, Ruisdael depicted a wide variety of landscape subjects. He is generally considered the pre-eminent landscape painter of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of great wealth and cultural achievement when Dutch painting became highly popular.
