Om maleriet

Hermanus Koekkoek (1815-1882) was the brother of the famous landscape painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek (1803-1862) and the son of the painter Jan Hermanus Koekkoek (1775-1851). He was born in Middleburg and studied under his father. He moved to Amsterdam in 1832 and exhibited there in the Koninklijke Academy. He travelled widely in Holland and worked in the towns of Durgerdam in 1832, Nieuwes-Amstel in 1873 and again in Amsterdam in 1882.

This painting is a typical example of Hermanus Koekkoek who specialised in marine paintings like his father. Probably painted after nature, Hermanus focused here his attention on the pictorial rendering of light through a subtle play of light and shade. The whole composition was executed in a cool palette with silvery touches in the sky and sea, enlivened by the golden sunbeam on the boats. His production was particularly appreciated by the English audience and is still well represented in the English private and public collections.
