Jan Hackaert was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and engraver. Early information about him indicates that he visited Switzerland several times between 1653 and 1656, probably not to Italy, as has long been assumed. In 1658 he returned to Amsterdam. The artist's paintings can be divided into two categories: Italianate landscapes and woodland scenes, but both genres were strongly influenced by Jan Both and Jan Asselijn, especially in their treatment of colour. An example of the former category is the view of Lake Zurich (c. 1660-64; Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum) which is considered his masterpiece, while the late Countryside Landscape with Cattle of 1670, preserved in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, depicts slender, graceful trees with their light foliage bathed in the brilliant southern sunlight, recalling Both's landscape painting.
