To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His " View on Mousehold Heath " stands alone : as solitary in England as Vermeer's " View of Delft " in Holland. But it was not Vermeer, whose works probably he had never seen, but Hobbema whom he claimed for chief inspiration after the god of light. His last words were " Hobbema, my Hobbema, how I have loved you I " To examine the similarity and points of difference between the two men, one has but to walk to Room IX, where seven or eight Hobbemas hang all together on one end wall. This painte...r, Meindert Hobbema, who was prob- ably a pupil of Jacob Ruysdael, was born in 1638 and died in 1709, fifty-nine years before Crome was born in the English Holland — Norfolk. "The Poringland Oak " is the National Gallery Crome most like the work of his darling exemplar. Yet it is not Crome but Patrick Nasmyth (ten of whose pictures are in the basement) to whom the phrase " The English Hobbema " has been applied ; while considered as a whole the influence of Cuyp (who is also fully represented in Room IX) upon Crome would seem to have been the stronger.
