JACOB VAN RUISDAEL, Cottage on a Hill

JACOB VAN RUISDAEL
Haarlem c1629 – 1682 Amsterdam

One of the greatest Dutch landscape painters of the 17th century, van Ruisdael made only 13 etchings, all before 1660. The culminating four large powerful etchings, which include Cottage on a Hill, are presumed to be his last works in the medium and to date from the 1650’s, perhaps a response to the journey he made in 1650-52 through the Rhine region and the country around Cleves.

Cottage on a Hill
Hollstein 3 ii/ii                                188 x 274 mm

Original etching, c1650’s. The plate signed. Second (final) state, with the sky (possibly added by another hand, as Ruisdael usually did not etch clouds). A strong, later printing, the black spot in the lower margin pale), on thin laid paper with an early 18th century proprietory watermark. Trimmed just outside the borderline and below the signature. Slight defects at the top right.

Sold

Provenance: Naudet (Lugt 1938)

David Freedberg in Dutch Landscape Prints comments on trees dominating the mid-17th century landscape print. “The trees give the impression of being possessed of the very forces of their growth.” In Ruisdael’s etchings of the 1650’s “amongst the greatest of the century… Never before had the life and forms of trees been represented on so overwhelming a scale… Such spontaneous, almost untidy handling of that instrument (the etching needle) with its multitudinous zig-zags and loops, conveys a sense of vitality that could not even have been attained with the pen.”
