Description:
Jacob Grimmer was one of the most important landscapists of the latter half of the 16th century, excelling in the painting series of the Seasons. Although he remained rooted in the tradition of Weltlandschaften and an additive approach to composition in the tradition of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Grimmer made demonstrable contributions to the rise of naturalistic landscape painting through his understanding of more coherent spatial recession and atmospheric effects.
