bakhuysen's

Updated: May 6, 2025

Nature, whenever undesecrated by the vulgarity of man, is ever sublimely simple. Everdingen and Ruysdael, on the contrary, studied nature in her simple northern garb, and the sombre pines of the former, the cheerful woods of the latter, will ever be attractive, like pictures of a much-loved home, to the German. Bakhuysen's sea-pieces and storms are faithful representations of the Baltic.
