| biography:
| Landscape painter, probably born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He studied under Ruysdael, but lacked his master's genius and range, contenting himself with florid, placid, and charming watermill scenes. Nevertheless his masterpiece, ‘The Avenue, Middelharnis’ (1689, National Gallery, London) is a striking exception, and has greatly influenced modern landscape artists. |
