BID HISTORY
DESCRIPTION
LUDOLF BACKHUYSEN (Emden, Hanover, 1630-Amsterdam, 1708).
"Beach Scene". 1663.
Oil on panel.
Signed and dated in the lower left corner.
Measurements: 52 x 43 cm; 68 x 60 cm (frame).
In this oil painting the most admired and characteristic aspects of the singular painter Ludolf Backhuysen coincide: his fascination for the sublimity of nature expressed through thick seascapes, which here is translated in a harbor landscape reduced to a feral beach. The boats look fragile before the agitation of the waves and the breeze swells the white sails. In the foreground, a group of fishermen offer their merchandise to a gentleman wearing a wide-brimmed hat and his wife. But the human anecdote is an excuse to explore the magnanimity of the sea, crossed with cerulean and silver colors.
