The son is more eminent in his own confined and uninteresting sphere.]

WYNANTS (Jan), b. at Haerlem, 1600; d. 1677.
[As a painter of small landscapes, remarkable for the beautiful
aerial perspective and individual truth of the foregrounds and foliage,
quite unequalled. Out of a few docks or thistles, a tree, and a sand
bank, he could make a picture. Generally speaking, his productions
display neither selection nor fancy, and are, as far as regards subject,
monotonous and insipid; but interesting, and sometimes wonderful
for their general truth of effect, as well as their accuracy in particular
delineation. He formed many scholars, among whom the two most
eminent were Philip Wouvermanns and Adrian Vander Velde.]
175 A Hawking Party—in a hilly landscape; the figures 1
by Wouvermanns. The effect of the aerial perspective in
this lovely little picture is so exquisite that it is like look-
ing at a real scene through a diminishing glass. The union
here of the two masters is also particularly happy; the
great clearness, peculiar to Wynants, admirably expresses
the freshness of morning; and in delicacy of touch, he has
successfully emulated Wouvermanns. On the other hand,
the tender, cool tone of the latter harmonizes far better
with Wynants than the warm tone of Adrian Vander
Velde, who likewise frequently painted the figures in his
landscapes. From the collection of Walsh Porter.

[A native of Scotland. As a painter of tableaux de genre, and
small historical pictures, remarkable for their dramatic spirit and
truth of character, eminently distinguished. Some of his compositions
contain a great number of figures.]
