Jacob Van Ruisdael, View of Haarlem from the Dures at Overveem, 1670

I think this painting is interesting because it looks like a photograph. Painted in 1670 by Jacob Van Ruisdael, this would have been the first photograph of in history. Interestingly enough, this isn't a photograph, but it is a picture that seems to capture the landscape at a specific moment in history.
