Jan Schaeffer (1923–2018) – Large Rotterdam Harbour with Euromast – ca. 1961 – Impressive panoramic size An attractive and large oil painting by Dutch artist Jan Schaeffer, depicting the bustling harbour of Rotterdam in the early 1960s. The composition features an atmospheric waterfront with working vessels, cranes and industrial buildings, while the iconic Euromast rises prominently in the background — a symbol of Rotterdam’s post-war reconstruction. Executed in a lively and confident manner, the painting shows Schaeffer’s characteristic romantic-figurative style, strongly influenced by the Hague School tradition. The use of thick brushstrokes (impasto) and subtle grey and earth tones creates a convincing sense of depth, movement and maritime atmosphere. Works of this size and subject are particularly sought-after, especially with clear Rotterdam iconography such as the Euromast.
