Adriaen van der Cabel Art

Adriaen van der Cabel or Ary van der Touw was born and grew up in the small town of Rijswijk, near The Hague. Cabel, also known as Ary, was a student of Jan van Goyen. The Dutch Golden Age landscapist was active in France and Italy. His real name was van der Touw, but that wasn't grand enough according to Van Goyen, so he changed it to mean "of Cable". Surely, he lived and spent the rest of his life in Lyon when Johannes Glauber made his grand tour. Cabel too moved to the French city of Lyon as a young man searching for the truth and the inspiration. His work is sometimes confused with that of his brother Engel van der Cabel, also known as Ange or Angelo. Engel accompanied his brother on his travels and they both married on the same day.
