Well, Jacob van Ruisdael was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter who was born in Haarlem, the Netherlands, in 1628 and is considered one of the greatest landscape artists of the Dutch Golden Age!
As Ruisdael's works are characterized by their realistic depictions of nature, including forests, waterfalls, and the countryside, as well as seascapes, windmills, and views of villages, his mastery of light, shade, and atmosphere is evident in his works, which are characterized by a keen sense of observation and an ability to capture the exact mood and character of the Dutch landscape. But his real talent was his particularly skill of depicting the effects of light and weather, and his works often convey a sense of grandeur and awe to viewer!
