COMMENTARY

UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.

Salomon van Ruysdael, who was a few years younger than van Goyen, shares with him the fame of tonal landscape in Holland, though he moved more slowly and differed considerable from van Goyen's vivacious temperament. But Ruysdael's charm is undeniable, and the calm lyricism as well as the pictorial subtlety of his river scenes are not easily forgotten.
