The 17th century painter Jacob van Ruisdael could paint clouds like few before or after him. I’d like to hop around to three cities to look at his paintings in the respective collections of the National Gallery in London (20), the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (16), and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg (9) – where I have never been.<\/p>\n

Van Ruisdael has lately been picked up again by many an art critic with the acknowledgment\u00a0\u00a0that he was for some time underrated. People nowadays are effusive in their praise, and imaginative in their interpretations of his work.<\/p>\n

\n

The Guardian\u00a0art critic\u00a0Waldemar Januszczak\u00a0wrote in 2006:”Ruisdael really doesn’t deserve to be underrated. ..[H]e was a prodigy whom we should rank at number 8 or 9 on the Mozart scale.” \u00a0The link below shows some of his famous cloud paintings. \u00a0http:\/\/www.ecology.com\/2014\/04\/09\/quintet-cloudscapes-jacob-isaackzs\/<\/a><\/p>\n
