Description: | Hermanus Koekkoek Snr was the youngest of four brothers who were also successful artists. Hermanus was taught drawing by his father Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek (1778-1851) and he in turn trained his own sons. Between 1832 and 1873 Hermanus Koekkoek Snr lived and worked in Amsterdam. He regularly exhibited his paintings and won a gold medal at the 1875 Arti et Amicitae Society Exhibition in Amsterdam. In 1876 Koekkoek appears to have been living in London where he exhibited a painting at the Royal Academy. Koekkoek specialised in painting sea subjects and also painted river scenes. He was particularly skilful in painting skies. This picture is an excellent example of Koekkoeks technical ability.
