Jan van Goyen

Japanese: ファン･ホイエン（英語表記）Jan van Goyen

1596‐1656
Dutch landscape painter. Born in Leiden, he studied painting there and in Hoorn before moving to Haarlem to study under E. van de Velde. After working in his hometown, he moved to The Hague in 1631, where he died. His early works, which depict villages and winter scenes, are strongly influenced by his teacher, but from the late 1620s he began to paint riverside and sand dune landscapes in subdued tones, excluding natural colors, and established the so-called "tonal style." This tendency became even stronger from the late 1630s to the 1640s, when all scenes were expressed using only shades of light brown or light green.

1596‐1656
オランダの風景画家。ライデンに生まれ，同市とホールンで画業を学んだのちハールレムでE.ファン･デ･フェルデに師事。故郷で活動した後1631年にハーグに移り，同地で没。村や冬景色を題材とした初期の作品には師の影響が強いが，1620年代後半から固有色を排し抑制された色調で川辺や砂丘の風景を描きはじめ，いわゆる〈色調様式〉を確立。30年代後半から40年代にはこの傾向がいっそう強まり，淡褐色もしくは淡緑色の濃淡だけですべての表現がなされている。
