Il mare, la riva, le vaste pianure fertili diventano oggi soggetti importanti fianco a fianco con i boschi e le cascate, e si vedono sempre sotto un cielo maestoso. Nelle sue vedute panoramiche di Haarlem con i suoi terreni sbiancanti, che continuano fino agli anni Settanta, la mano del maestro si sente nella forza e nell'ingannevole simp

RUISDAEL, Jacob Isaackszon van (b. ca. 1628, Haarlem, d. 1682, Amsterdam) View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds c 1665 Oil on canvas, 62, 2 x 55, 2 cm Kunsthaus, Zurich Of about the late 1660s are many firsthand views of the Dutch landscape in its various aspects by Ruisdael. The sea, the shore, the vast fertile plains now become important subjects side by side with the woods and waterfalls, and they are always seen under a majestic sky. In his panoramic views of Haarlem with its bleaching grounds, which continue into the seventies, the master's hand is felt in the strength and deceptive simplicity of the compositions. Bleaching fields were familiar sights in his time. After brewing, bleaching linen manufactured in Holland and unbleached cloth imported from England, Germany, and the Baltic countries was Haarlem's major industry. Jacob's 'Haarlempjes' - as they were called in his day - appeal to us because they offer what is now accepted as the most characteristic view of the Dutch countryside while achieving an unparalleled degree of openness and height. The one at Zurich, a summit of Jacob's achievement, is an exemplar of the type. Its sky, as the skies in most of them, takes up more than two thirds of the canvas, but the impression of height is increased here by the vertical format, and still more by the dominant part the towering, strongly modelled clouds play in the awe-inspiring aerial zone. The prospect of the plain is shown from an exceptionally distant and elevated point of view. As a result there is a reduction in both in scale and in overlappings of the watery dunes, woods, and tracts of land. The firm cohesion of the great cloudy sky gains in mass and significance from its relations to the diminutive forms. The eye can explore here - more than in most other 'Haarlempjes' - the vast expanse of the land richly differentiated by the gradations of alternating bands of light and shadow into the distance toward a horizon stretched taut as sinew. --- Key
