Claasz; pupil of J. van Goyen, N. Moyaert,
P. de Grebber, Jan Wils, whose daughter
he married, and J. B. Weenix. In June,
1642, he entered the guild in Haarlem,
where he worked until 1670, having probably
visited Italy in 1648-55, and finally
settled in Amsterdam. His early pictures
resemble the works of Weenix, but his later
ones, representing landscapes enriched with
architectural ruins and charming groups of
figures and cattle, are original and interesting.
His historical and mythological pictures
are not so successful. He was a good
etcher. Works: Landscape with Ruin, and
three others, National Gallery, London;
Winter Landscape, and six others, Amsterdam
Museum; Pastoral (1648), Wild-Boar
