Dune Landscape near Haarlem
Dune Landscape near Haarlem, also known as The Bush and The Thicket near Haarlem, is an oil on canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Jacob van Ruisdael. It is in the collection of the Louvre in Paris.
The painting is called "Dune Landscape near Haarlem" in Slive's 2001 catalogue raisonné of Ruisdael, catalogue number 60. Hofstede de Groot called it "Landscape near Haarlem" or "The Bush" in his 1911 catalogue raisonne; catalogue number 890.
The painting
L. Dupper, Amsterdam; bequeathed in 1870 to the Rijksmuseum. In the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Dupper bequest, 1910 catalogue, No. 2071."
This scene is very similar to other large panorama paintings (often referred to as "Haerlempjes" today) that Ruisdael made of Haarlem in this period and these often served as inspiration for later painters of landscape. It is taken from the same perspective from a high dune in Bloemendaal as several other Ruisdael paintings.
