Dutch Golden Age 1628–1682

Jacob van Ruisdael

A big sky, a low land, weather crossing.

Gone 344 years, so the hand is everyone’s. We describe it to the painters: the light, the ground, the palette, the stroke. The picture is yours.

Default palette: Storm Glass

Tap one to see it large. Paint after it and its hand is the painting’s; its subject never is.

Palette

How the palettes are sampled

One painting a day is free, no account. Three painters take it; the first to finish hangs.

What shall we hang here?The line above becomes the first.

Painted here 3 judged

The hand, three times over

Each of these was painted in this studio in this hand and passed the art gate before it hung. Nothing here is a photograph of a painting.
