BiographyBorn in London, Molijn joined the painter's guild at Haarlem in 1616. Together with his slightly younger contemporaries, Jan van Goyen and Salomon van Ruysdael, he established the new tonal landscape style that became characteristic of the Haarlem school. Molijn's best work dates from around 1626 to 1629.[Added by M. Timko on 12/4/13 from the Metropolitan Museum's website]
