Description   

Hobbema discovered his favored subject, the forest landscape, in the work of his teacher, Jacob van Ruisdael. This view of a quiet grove and meadow before a distant village exemplifies Hobbema's art. Through his manipulation of rippling light and shade and his masterful rendering of water and clouds, he captures both the tranquility and transience of the natural world.
