_Jan Hackaert_ (Dutch: 1629-1696).
Hackaert was a native of Amsterdam, but between the years
1653 and 1658 he travelled much in Switzerland, Germany, and
Italy. At this time he chose his subjects from the mountains.
In painting the landscape of his own country he especially
affected woodland views, with effects of light shining through
the trees.
The figures in this picture are attributed to N. Berchem.
