Joris van der Haagen

van der Haagen (c. 1615 – 23 May 1669 (buried))[1] was a Dutch Golden Age painter specialized in landscapes.

He probably learned to paint from his father, the painter Abraham van der Haagen.

The painting he made of the Princessegracht at this time probably shows the original building, which has since been renovated beyond recognition.

Evidence shows he worked with Dirck Wyntrack, Paulus Potter, Ludolf Leendertsz de Jongh, Jan Wijnants and Nicolaes Berchem.

According to Houbraken he used blue ash to make the color green, and this had faded by 1715, when he saw his paintings in Amsterdam.
