The greatest of all Dutch landscape painters, with the possible
exception of Jan van Goyen, is Jacob van Ruisdael (1628?-1682), who
occupied himself more especially with rushing waterfalls and undulating
country. His _Storm on the Coast_ (No. 2558) is a fine achievement, but
his best picture in this collection is the _Landscape_ (no No.), which
was bequeathed by Baron Arthur de Rothschild. His _Woody Landscape_
(No. 2559), the _Road_ (No. 2559A), _Landscape_ (No. 2561), and the
_Entrance to a Wood_ (No. 2561A), cannot, however, compare with his
_Sunny Landscape_ (No. 2560), which bears the artist’s monogram.
