Description from the seller
This is a dark work by Willem van der Nat, but precisely because of that it is special and interesting. The light sky contrasts strongly with the dark farm, creating a powerful tension in the composition. The small red detail on the left breaks the somber palette and keeps the whole lively and exciting.
Dimensions: 24 cm x 30 cm
Dimensions with frame: 39 cm x 44 cm
The work is signed and dated '08' in the bottom right
The work is housed in an exclusive frame
Willem Hendrik van der Nat (Leiden, 1864–1929) was a versatile artist: painter, draftsman, water-colourist, 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 became friends with artist Floris Verster and art critic H.P. Bremmer.
Initially Van der Nat worked as an illustrator and lithographer, but around 1900 he dedicated himself fully 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 became known for his paintings of sheep and goats, often made during his stays in Drenthe, but he also painted still lifes, landscapes and scenes of Spain.
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 color use. 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 various museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterloo.
