Forest Scene by Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, 1848, Museum of the Netherlands

Of all Dutch landscape painters, Koekkoek is perhaps the most Romantic. He specialized in splendid panora-mas of the valley of the Rhine and forest scenes with majestic trees, which at the time were called ‘Wodan’s Oaks’ (Wodan being the Dutch name for Odin, the major god in Norse mythology). In 1834 Koekkoek settled in Cleves in Germany, over the border from Nijmegen. He found German scenery, with its hills and the Rhine, more romantic than the Dutch landscape.

Winter Landscape with Farmhouse, Esaias van de Velde, 1624, Mauritshuis Museum

Esaias van de Velde painted a simple winter landscape: a house on the banks of a frozen canal with a few people on the ice. One man is tying on his skates and another is pushing along a sledge, while two boys are playing ‘kolf’ – a game similar to today’s ice hockey. Van de Velde chose a low vantage point and did not paint a panorama. So it seems as if we are standing on the banks of the canal ourselves.

Wooded Landscape by Jacob Jacobsz van Geel, 1633, Museum of the Netherlands

In a forest with majestic giant trees, a few tiny figures can be seen conversing. Their insignificance makes the trees, with their fanciful shapes and eccentric foliage, seem even larger. Van Geel stands apart from most Dutch landscape painters. He was not interested in realistic landscapes, but preferred imaginary ones.

Landscape in Brazil by Frans Jansz. Post, 1652, Museum of the Netherlands

In the foreground of this Brazilian river landscape, Frans Post painted exotic plants and animals. A sugar plantation can be seen in the distance. The artist spent seven years in Brazil in the entourage of Johan Maurits of Nassau-Siegen, Governor of the Dutch West India Company. Johan Maurits early on commissioned Post to record the country and its inhabitants.

The Merry Family by Jan Havicksz. Steen, 1668, Museum of the Netherlands

This boisterous family is making a lot of noise: the father sings at the top of his lungs while raising a glass; the mother and grandmother chime in; and the children are either blowing into a wind instrument or smoking a long pipe. The note hanging from the mantelpiece gives away the moral of the story: ‘As the old sing, so shall the young twitter.’ What will become of the children if their parents set the wrong example?
