About the Item

This wonderful seaport painting is by Jan Simon Knikker Jr. (Dutch, 1911–1990). Knikker was a prolific painter of the Hague school. Judging by the subject and age of the canvas this wonderful depiction of an industrial dutch port is from the 1960's. Signed lower right. Condition is good. Oil on canvas. Overall framed measurements are 23 by 27 inches. Provenance: A upstate, New York collector. Biography artist Jan Simon Knikker (Leiden 1911 – The Hague 1990), known as Jan, was born in Leiden in 1911. He lived and worked in Wassenaar, after that in Voorschoten until 1937 and then in The Hague. Signed with Jan Knikker jr. Son or Jan Simon Knikker sr. He was a student at the Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague (1928-1932) and of his father Jan Knikker Sr. He painted summer, river and winter landscapes, still lifes and cityscapes in a figurative way in the style of the Hague School. He is therefore seen as a follower of the Hague School and he worked a lot for art dealers. Abroad his cityscapes are particularly sought after. Although the Knikker family of painters and in particular Jan Knikker senior (Oude Jan) and Aris Knikker came from North Holland, the old and young Jan Knikker have become real Hague painters. Jan Knikker senior (Oude Jan), settled in The Hague around the turn of the century, where Jan Knikker junior was born in 1911 at De La Reykade, now La Reyweg. At the time, it was located on the outskirts of the city with a wide view of the landscape beyond. On this location, Oude Jan and junior could gain unlimited inspiration from their home to record their impressions of the great outdoors on linen. In their own words, modesty was foreign to them, Oude Jan and junior represented the well-known Hague School of Maris, Bosboom and Roelofs. That is why Jan Knikker junior stated in a newspaper interview that they focused on landscapes and cityscapes.
