Description from the seller
This landscape by Willem van der Nat is a wonderful impressionist work. With quick, loose brushstrokes he convincingly depicts the windmills in the meadow. Take, for example, the cows: they consist only of a few patches of paint, yet are immediately recognizable. That shows the sure hand of the artist.
Dimensions: 31 cm x 41 cm
Dimensions with frame: 45 cm x 55 cm
The work is signed in the lower left
The painting is housed in a neat frame
Willem Hendrik van der Nat (Leiden, 1864–1929) was a versatile artist: painter, draftsman, watercolorist, sculptor, etcher, illustrator, and lithographer. He received his first drawing lessons at a young age and later attended schools in The Hague and Leiden, where he befriended artist Floris Verster and art critic H.P. Bremmer.
Initially Van der Nat worked as an illustrator and lithographer, but around 1900 he fully devoted himself to painting. His style developed from the influence of the Hague School to a more expressive, colorful approach, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He gained recognition with his paintings of sheep and goats, often created during his stays in Drenthe, but he also painted still lifes, landscapes, and Spanish scenes.
Van der Nat was a co-founder of the Leiden artists' association De Kunst om De Kunst and is regarded as part of the core of the so-called Leiden Impressionists—a group of painters distinguished by their loose brushwork and vibrant use of color. They painted in and around the city of Leiden. The movement is related to the Hague School. A biography has been written by Willem L. Baars. (not included with the purchase of the work). His work is represented in the collections of several museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterloo.
Viewing is of course possible.
