Description from the seller
Jurriën Marinus Beek (1879-1965)
The Seine
Overall size: 53 x 72 cm
Canvas size: 40 x 60 cm
Provenance: Private collection, the Netherlands
This oil painting on canvas is a work by the Dutch artist Jurriën Marinus Beek (Arnhem, 1879 – The Hague, 1965), painter and art dealer. Beek built a diverse body of work during the first half of the twentieth century, including landscapes, seascapes, harbor scenes, still lifes, figure studies, and portraits. Around 1929 he settled in Scheveningen, where proximity to the sea provided a significant source of inspiration for his work. Later he moved to central The Hague, where he remained active as an artist and art dealer until his death. His paintings are valued for their refined compositions, atmospheric use of color, and precise observation of people and their surroundings.
Although Beek is best known for his depictions of Dutch landscapes and maritime scenes, this painting forms a notable exception within his oeuvre. The work presents a view of Paris, a subject seldom found in his production. Precisely because of this, the painting occupies a special place in his work. Despite the departure in location, the qualities that characterize his oeuvre remain clearly recognizable: a sensitive rendering of mood, a harmonious composition, and a strong attention to light and architectural details. The painting testifies to Beek’s versatility as an artist and shows that his interests extended beyond the Dutch coast and cityscapes for which he was mainly known.
The painting can be viewed at Art Dumay. It is possible to have it professionally cleaned by a restorer who is a member of Restauratoren Nederland, the professional association for restorers.
