This masterpiece from the Gallery’s collection is an impressive example of a Dutch landscape painting, which was painted by the artist in the 17th century. The artist specialized in painting the countryside, carefully observing nature to capture the colors and textures of the earth, trees, and plants. But even though this forest scene looks realistic, it does not depict an actual location in the Dutch countryside.</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/forest-scene-c-1655-jacob-van-ruisdael" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/forest-scene-c-1655-jacob-van-ruisdael#comments European Painting For Kids Jacob van Ruisdael Landscape Painting Nature Painting Learning to Look National Gallery of Art, Washington http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/83/83a0151a2cef30ae/poster-image-03.jpg 83a0151a2cef30ae Tue, 18 Oct 2011 19:00:30 +0000 s-sarraf 8827 at http://artbabble.org http://artbabble.org/video/ima/caroline-marmon-fesler-collectors-exhibition <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-institution"> <div class="field-label">Institution:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/partner/indianapolis-museum-art">Indianapolis Museum of Art</a> </div> </div> </div> <p>A short documentary on the role art collector Caroline Fesler played in the building of the Indianapolis Museum of Art's collection in the 1930's and 40's.
