Abraham Hulk the Elder
"Shipping Off the Dutch Coast" Oil Painting

mid 19thcentury

About the Item

Abraham Hulk (british/dutch) 1813 - 1897 "Off the Dutch Coast" -Oil on canvas, signed and framed. Painting has been re-lined some time ago, more recently, we have had it cleaned. Abraham Hulk has become increasingly popular in recent years and there is a strong demand for his marine works. He was a pupil of the celebrated portrait painter J A Dailwaille but turned to marine painting. He studied at the Amsterdam Academy from 1828 to 1834, visited the USA and held several successful exhibitions before returning to Holland and then finally settling in London in 1870. He worked in London for 27 years and thus qualified himself to be classified as a British marine artist. He is mainly noted for his Dutch estuary scenes and his work is typically Dutch in its influence, conception and execution. He is a master of atmosphere in romantic calms. During his time in London he exhibited 3 paintings at the Royal Academy and 19 at the British Institute. He also exhibited at Amsterdam, The Hague and Leeuwarden between 1843 and 1868. His son, also called Abraham, was a competent landscape painter and another son William, a cattle painting specialist; they also lived in England.

    Charles Augustus Henry LUTYENS (1829 – 1915, British) On the Scent c.1880 Unframed 50 x 84 inches Framed 64 x 98 inches Oil on Canvas Signed Provenance: Possibly commissioned by George William Coventry, 9th Earl of Coventry (1838-1930); thence by family descent; Croome Court House Sale, Worcestershire 1948 Lord Coventry was a keen huntsman having founded the North Cotswold Hunt in 1867 and in 1882 The Croome. Besides founding two Hunts, he also held the unique distinction of owning racehorses that won two Grand Nationals in consecutive years. Daphne Moore, the hunting correspondent writing about the Croome Hounds c.1950, emphasised the influence of Rambler as a perfect type of hound. ‘Who could have dreamed that in 1949 well-bred hounds in almost every kennel in England would have at least a trace of Rambler’s blood in their veins?’ … to the hound man The Croome and the name Coventry immediately recalls Rambler. Anyone who has seen his portrait by Lutyens, will remember him as being the perfect type of hound for any country…’ Charles Lutyens the artist spent his early adult life in the Army, joining the 20th foot and siled with them in 1850 to serve in Canada.
