Vintage Marine Life Print

A Dutch artist, born in the mid-19th century, shifted his career from finance to painting after his thirties. He trained in Brussels and settled in The Hague in 1870, focusing on seascapes. Captivated by marine scenes, he became renowned for his nautical paintings. In 1870, he won the gold medal at a major international art exhibition. This work, typical of his style, features neutral tones and captures the magic of twilight over the water. In 1898, an American company, famous for its hand-carved and gilded frames, produced this print. The print includes an embossed mark in the lower right corner and a seal above the artist’s signature. This piece not only holds historical significance but also showcases the beauty of the early evening on the water. The frame shows notable wear, reflecting the passage of time. Print dimensions: 9″(W) x 7″(T). Overall framed size: 15.75″(W) x 14″(T).
