Description: | Signed: yes Description: A late follower of the Hague School, Tholen, a painter, printmaker and draughtsman, is concerned with the effects of light in this painting, using a modest arrangement of tones. Tholen often worked outdoors (en plein air) and was particularly influenced by Paulus Gabriël. In the course of time he applied the paint more thinly and made a more tonal use of colours. Together with Willem Witsen, Jan Veth (1864-1925) and Antoon Derkinderen (1859-1925), Tholen was one of the founders of the Nederlandse Etsclub. His work was highly varied and included landscapes, portraits, and townscapes and from 1885, views of the Zuyder Zee. In colour and general motif this scene of a Dutch canal resembles his Landscape by Giethoorn at the Museum Het Catharina Gasthuis, Gouda of 1882. His work can be seen at various museums in the world, including the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and Dordrecht. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Tholen, Willem Bastiaan (Dutch painter, printmaker, 1860-1931) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8749... | Go to resource |
