# The Travelers [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HOBBEMA, Meyndert]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas ## Commentary A friend and pupil of Jacob van Ruisdael, Hobbema and his teacher often made sketching trips together into the countryside near Amsterdam, later using their drawings as studies for paintings. On occasion the same scene would appear in works by both artists, for the old mill in this painting is also found in a painting by Ruisdael in Amsterdam. Even though the scenes might be similar, the paintings would differ greatly in style, for Hobbema approached landscape more as a reporter, and Ruisdael more as a poet. ## Related artworks - [A Hamlet in a Woodland Glade of Oaks]() - [A Watermill beside a Woody Lane]() - [A Watermill]() - [A Watermill]() - [A Wooded Landscape]() - [A Wooded Landscape with Peasants on a Path and an Angler at a Stream]() - [Cottage at the Edge of a Wood]() - [Entrance to a Village]() - [Farm in the Woods]() - [Landscape]() - [Landscape with a Hut]() - [Marshy Wood]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
