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.

  • John MacWhirter - Skye from Loch Alsh
    By John Macwhirter
    Located in Edinburgh, GB
    An excellent landscape by John MacWhirter RA RSA RI (1839-1911), looking over to the Isle of Skye from Loch Alsh, Scotland. Oil on Canvas, Signed with initials bottom right, generally good condition and typical of this artist. John MacWhirter was the son of the late George MacWhirter, paper manufacturer, of Colington, Edinburgh and was born at Slateford, near Edinburgh on March 27th 1838. He came of an old Ayrshire family, one of whom was numbered among the 'Ayrshire Martyrs'. He was 13 when his father died, an event which caused him to leave school at Peebles and to enter as an apprentice into the business of Oliver and Boyd, the booksellers and publishers. But already the love of art was strong in him, and after six months he broke his articles, determined to become a painter. When he was 14 he exhibited his first work at the Royal Scottish Academy, and about the same time entered the Arts Schools, then under the direction of an excellent painter, Robert Scott Lauder RSA. It was a good moment in the Edinburgh schools, and among MacWhirter's companions were a number of men who soon attained distinction – William MacTaggart, Hugh Cameron, and three painters who were afterwards his close friends and colleagues in the Royal Academy, John Pettie, Peter Graham...
