The hamlet on mountainous ground., Allart van Everdingen, artist, Mid 17th century, etching, The Dutch landscape and marine painter and printmaker Allart/Allaert van Everdingen (1621-1675) was born in Alkmaar and is said to have been a pupil of Roelandt Savery in Utrecht and Pieter de Molyn in Haarlem. In 1644–5 he visited Scandinavia, where particularly after visiting Norway, he developed a taste for subjects inspired by the scenery there, above all mountain torrents, and helped to popularise such themes back in the Netherlands. Indeed, Van Everdingen could be considered 'the inventor of cascades', just as Claude Monet 'invented' poppy fields! Jacob Ruisdael, in his paintings of majestic waterfalls, was one of the artists influenced by him. Allart was also a fine etcher and a prolific draughtsman. His elder brother Caesar (1617–78), who painted portraits and historical pictures, was attracted to Italian art, though he never went there. Te Papa currently has eleven prints by Allart van Everdingen in its collection, all of which were presented to the Colonial Museum by Bishop Ditlev Monrad.
