1835 Hand-Colored Lithograph: Sailboat in Stormy Seas near Texel, Holland

About the Item

Description of the Print This print, titled "Het Nieuwe Diep" (The New Deep), depicts a dramatic maritime scene near the coast of Texel, an island in the Netherlands. The scene features a sailboat struggling against turbulent waters, its sails billowing under the force of strong winds. The sky is filled with dark, stormy clouds, adding to the tension of the scene. In the background, other ships are visible, likely heading towards the same destination, navigating through the rough sea. On the left side of the print, a small group of figures is seen standing on a rocky outcrop or pier, possibly awaiting the arrival of the vessels or simply observing the unfolding drama at sea. Artist: - P.J. Schotel: The artist responsible for the original artwork. Schotel was a renowned Dutch marine painter, known for his detailed and dynamic representations of seascapes and naval scenes, often capturing the power and unpredictability of the sea. Publisher: - Soetens & Fils: The publisher of the print, known for producing and distributing high-quality lithographs during the 19th century. Lithographer: - Lith. van H.J. Backer: The lithographer who transferred Schotel's maritime scene onto the lithographic stone, capturing the intensity and movement of the sea with great skill. Date of Publication: - 1835: The print was produced in 1835, during a period when maritime scenes were highly popular, reflecting the importance of the sea in Dutch culture and history. What Makes This Print Interesting: This print is particularly compelling due to its dynamic depiction of a sailboat battling against a stormy sea, a theme that resonates with the Dutch maritime tradition. The tension in the scene is palpable, with the boat leaning sharply against the waves, its crew likely struggling to maintain control. The dark, brooding clouds and choppy waters convey a sense of danger and the relentless power of nature, making the print a vivid representation of the challenges faced by sailors. The presence of additional ships in the background and the figures on the shore add narrative depth, suggesting a broader story of navigation and survival. Condition: The print is in fair to good condition, showing some age-related wear, including slight discoloration and spotting, particularly around the margins. The hand-colored areas are still vibrant, with the central image remaining clear and well-defined. The paper is intact, with no significant tears or creases, ensuring that the dramatic scene continues to convey its powerful impact.
