About the Item

Barend Blankert (December 30, 1941 – July 11, 2023) was a Dutch painter known for his quiet, melancholic works. Born in Kampen, he studied at the National Normal School for Art Teachers in Amsterdam. From 1971 to 1992, he taught at the Minerva Art Academy in Groningen, where he inspired many young artists. Blankert's oeuvre consists of carefully composed, realistic paintings, often featuring solitary human figures in empty, minimalist spaces. His work is marked by a subdued atmosphere, technical precision, and a subtle sense of alienation. Strongly committed to figurative painting, he was admired for his craftsmanship and refined compositions. A recurring theme in his work is introspection and isolation, earning him the nickname “Master of Melancholy.” His paintings are part of several major museum collections. In 2023, shortly after his passing, the Drents Museum honored him with a special exhibition of his work.
