Jan VerkadeDutch, 1868–1946Breton Landscape
About the painting
Brittany, in northwestern France, was an important place to Verkade both artistically and spiritually. The artist was captivated by the terrain that differed so greatly from that of Amsterdam, inspiring a series of Breton landscapes. Verkade also converted to Catholicism during his travels to Brittany, shifting the trajectory of his art away from landscapes and toward a revival of religious painting and sacred art.
