Description from the seller
Van der Nat has depicted a number of sheep on an open plain in this oil painting. Through the gray background the animals stand out clearly, even though they are not actually pure white. This subtle play with color is mastered by Van der Nat like no other.
Dimensions: 61 cm x 46 cm
Dimensions with frame: 63 cm x 79 cm
The work is signed bottom right
The painting is 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 studied 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 devoted himself entirely to painting. His style developed from the influence of the Hague School toward a more expressive, colorful manner, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He gained fame with his paintings of sheep and goats, often made 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 considered 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.
