Description from the seller
Willem Hendrik van der Nat
Goats
Oil painting
Dimensions: 30 cm x 34 cm
Dimensions with frame: 44 cm x 49 cm
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 devoted himself entirely to painting. His style evolved from the influence of the Hague School to a more expressive, colorful approach, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He gained recognition for 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 cofounder 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. There is a biography written by Willem L. Baars. (not included with 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.
