Bernard De Hoog
A Welcome Visit

19th Century

About the Item

Oil on canvas, signed in the lower left. Measures 26" x 22" including the frame. An excellent example of De Hoog's work, which he was well known for depicting Dutch interior scenes. Provenance: Harrods, London Bradbury Art and Antiques, Wiscasset, Maine Bernard de Hoog was a genre and portrait painter. Born in Amsterdam in 1866, de Hoog occupies a distinguished place among the masters of Holland modernism. As well as having lived and worked in Amsterdam, Laren, Haarlem, Bussum, and The Hague, De Hoog studied under J.F. Hulk and J.C. van Essen at the Quellinus school in Amsterdam. The first great picture that he exhibited was shown in Amsterdam, entitled 'During the Sermon in the new Church'. Soon De Hoog came to be a painter of interiors, because he lived in a village rich in them. He painted interiors for four years, and then migrated to other provinces with his family. His effective talent was by this time fully appreciated, and people understood his originality. Although influenced by the work of Israëls, no one can deny the individuality of De Hoog. De Hoog followed the Hague School, primarily a movement of realism, a reaction against the previous mood of romanticism. He was advocating the simple country life, a happy and innocent atmosphere where children play a major part. He painted many small pictures of the life of the country people, of the homes of the peasants, with the light shining through the ancient windows. De Hoog had a developed mind and excellent taste. In the simple appearance of the simple life of the Dutch people he discovered a beauty of thought which dictated his management of tone, he knew exactly the way to express the sentiment that was in him. On the Continent his pictures attracted much attention, and he was well received in the Netherlands, where his popular scenes were exhibited and sold at many provincial and National galleries. His paintings were also readily exported around the world, especially to the US, Canada, and England. De Hoog died at the Hague in 1943.
