Hans Bol

Hans Bol (1534 - 1593) was active/lived in Netherlands.  Hans Bol is known for Landscape art, drawings, mixing realistic and imaginary elements.

Hans Bol was a Dutch artist who played a prominent role in the development of landscape art in the Netherlands during the 16th century. He was influenced by his contemporary Pieter Breughel the Elder and often mixed realistic details with imaginary elements in his works.

Bol's landscapes often featured figures depicting biblical and ordinary people, or a combination of the two. In his later years, he created a series of the Four Seasons, depicting the activities characteristic of each season. 

Born in Mechelen, Hans Bol first learned the technique of painting in tempera on canvas, before developing his important graphic work of wash drawings, gouaches and prints. In 1572, after the arrival of the Spanish, Hans Bol left Malines to take refuge in Antwerp, where he was admitted to the Academy of Saint Luke in 1574.

In 1584, with the Spanish threatening Antwerp, he left for the Netherlands, eventually settling in Amsterdam, where he died in 1593.
