Salomon van Ruysdael

Salomon van Ruysdael (c. 1602, Naarden – November 3 1670, Haarlem) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter. He was the brother of Jacob van Ruisdael.
According to Houbraken he was the son of a woodworker specialized in making fancy ebony frames for mirrors and paintings. His father sent his sons to learn Latin and medicine, and they both became landscape painters, specialized in ruis-daal, or trickling water through a dale, after their name. Jacob was registered with the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke and signed his paintings, while Salomon signed them much less often and was not a member for several years.
Houbraken wrote that Salomon invented a way of created polished stones that looked like marble, that were quite popular as a decoration on chests and picture frames, until the secret of their manufacture was discovered and widely copied.
