Meindert Hobbema was a Dutch landscape painter. He was born in 1638 at Amsterdam and died in 1709. After a life of poverty, about which little is recorded, his pictures achieved popularity after his death, and are amongst the finest of Dutch landscapes. His paintings consist chiefly of forest scenes, ruins, villages, erc, and are highly valued for their excellence in perspective and colouring. The figures in them were generally painted by others.
