Co-Founder of Modern Landscape Painting
Molijn, Pieter de (London 1595 – Haarlem 1661). Dune Landscape. Left by the path property under high trees. With busy and chatting figurines. Aquatint printed in brown by Cornelis Apostool (1762 Amsterdam 1844). 1792. 21.7 x 30.1 cm.
Rare sheet after the oil in the Fitzwilliam-Museum in Cambridge
(since 1834; here in reverse and without the little man and the rod resp. at the sides, which, so Hans-Ulrich Beck, perhaps were painted over in the time of Apostool). – The wide margins slightly foxing. – Bernt (1969) :
“ The later undulatory dune landscapes, hollow ways, farms, and inns below trees are similar to the early works of J. van Goyen. Compared with these his landscape themes are more many-sided. ”
And the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Dec. 13, 1988 :
“ Pieter de Molyn belongs beside van Goyen, the elder Ruysdael and Esaias van de Velde to those Dutch painters, who
about 1630 established the modern landscape painting .”
