Pieter de Molijn

A Landscape with a Bridge over a Brook

Pieter de Molijn, though less known with the public at large, was an influential and innovative landscape artist. His 1626 Dune landscape with Trees and Wagon in Braunschweig, Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum heralds the tonal phase of seventeenth-century Dutch landscape painting and is regarded a milestone. With its rich palette it is an early work executed possibly as early as 1626.
