Eise Aetes RUYTENBACH (1656 - 1692, Dutch)
Dutch Boating Scene
oil on canvas
32 x 40 1/2 inches
A highly skillful painter of both landscape and genre pictures, Ruytenbach can be rated amongst the first rank of Dutch Golden age artists.
This engaging picture perfectly represents Ruytenbach’s skill as a painter. It combines both the mellow mercantile marine painting of Cuyp or Ruysdael alongside the cavorting and carousing tavern scenes redolent of Jan Steen or Pieter de Hooch.
