Description: | Signed: yes Description: Koekkoek came from a family of respected Dutch seascape artists. This painting demonstrates the artist's particular interest in harbour scenes. Here Koekkoek used thick brushstrokes and a subdued palette to capture the reflection of light on the harbour. Marine subjects were often represented in Dutch seventeenth-century painting. Although the popularity of this genre diminished towards the end of the seventeenth century, it again became popular during the nineteenth century. Artists like Koekkoek looked back to earlier Dutch paintings, while drawing from ideas of the Romantic movement, to create scenes of the Dutch seascape that appealed to the contemporary audience. | Subjects: | marine (harbour); townscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Koekkoek, Hermanus, the Younger (Dutch painter, 1836-1909) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8308... | Go to resource |
