He often used subdued tones of grey, greens and browns, and a broken brushwork which were perfectly adapted to the river views he favoured. In 1906 the artist visited the fishing village of Katwijk, on the Dutch coast near Leiden, a popular painting ground for European artists. Between 1884 and 1914, 850 different artists were recorded in the area. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | LANDSCAPE : BOAT : SEASCAPE : HOLLAND : FIGURE : FISHING VILLAGE : PICTURESQUE : SCOTTISH 19TH CENTURY : 2004 : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
