Meindert Hobbema was a Dutch landscape painter who rebelled against the populist style of genre painters of the time. Thus, the open-air painter joined the ranks of well-known compatriots and painters Aelbert Cuyp, Jacob van Ruisdael and Salomon van Ruisdael. Today Hobbema is considered first and foremost an important figure of the Dutch Baroque. The first literary mention of the now highly esteemed artist, however, is found only in a Dutch encyclopedia of 1751, although he already had a lush oeuvre in the mid-17th century. Hobbema's typical landscapes are interspersed with hedges, ponds and woods. One of his favorite motifs is mills. Probably many of his works were created on the Dutch-Westphalian border and in nature in the Lower Rhine area.
Born Meyndert Lubbertsz in Amsterdam in 1638, he used the surname Hobbema from 1660 for unknown reasons. Around that time he completed his artistic training in his hometown in the workshop of painter Jacob van Ruisdael. Ruisdael's influences are most evident in Hobbema's paintings after 1660, as the earlier work is characterized by a much lighter and more restrained palette. Throughout his life, Hobbema shared an intimate friendship with his teacher Ruisdael, whom he even named best man at his wedding. At the age of 35, Hobbema married Eeltien Vinck. He benefited from this union with a lucrative professional position, as Vinck had been the nanny of a future mayor of Amsterdam. However, Hobbema's professional duties as administrator of Amsterdam's wine and oil industries caused him to neglect his work as a painter. How many works actually came from his hand varies from art historian to art historian. Many of the attributions are merely conjectures. Both the painting style and the subjects of the Dutchman were widespread. As a rule, 500 originals preserved to the present day could be by Hobbema himself. Other works could be copies from the late 19th century, when Hobberma's naturalistic style was in vogue again. In addition, it is likely that Hobbema employed assistants in his workshop who painted individual areas of the paintings and preproduced compositions under his supervision. In addition, it was common among landscape painters in the 17th century to hire so-called staffage painters. These painters were solely responsible for inserting small people into the landscape paintings. Hobbema seems to have had only a modest influence on the art scene of his time. But today his paintings are among the best of Dutch late realism.
Poor and lonely (his wife as well as his five children died before him), Hobbema was buried in the pauper's grave in Amsterdam at the age of 71.
