Jacob van Ruisdael and Pieter de Hooch Picture Study Aid (Free Version)

This FREE Charlotte Mason Picture Study includes a summary of lives and artistic inspirations of Dutch Golden Age painters Jacob van Ruisdael (ca. 1628-1682) and Pieter de Hooch (ca. 1629-ca. 1684), and synopses of six of their works as chosen for the AmblesideOnline artist study rotation. There is also a brief discussion about Charlotte Mason picture study.

The pieces discussed are:

  • Two Watermills and an Open Sluice at Singraven (Ruisdael – ca. 1650-52)
  • View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds (Ruisdael – ca. 1670/75)
  • The Windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede (Ruisdael – ca. 1668-70)
  • The Courtyard of a House in Delft (de Hooch – 1658)
  • A Woman Peeling Apples (de Hooch – ca. 1663)
  • Interior with Women beside a Linen Cupboard (de Hooch – 1663)

You can download printable versions of these pieces here.

Note for AO users: At this time, I’m not able to offer print versions of the AmblesideOnline artist rotation selections as I’m respecting their copyright request that no products be made based on the work they’ve done (in this case, the artist rotation). I do offer prints and a printed Picture Study Aid featuring the art of Jacob van Ruisdael, however, they are not all the same as the AO selections.

I am happy to provide this picture study resource free of charge and hope it aids you in your homeschooling endeavors! I offer more resources in my shop, including printed Picture Study Aids, art prints, seasonal art devotions, Charlotte Mason quote prints, and more.
