Derk van Vlaardingen (1890-1958)

The founder of the Van Vlaardingen family of painters is Derk Hendrik Gerrit. He married Charlotte Josephine Dellen, who was two years younger, in his birthplace Zwolle in 1912. Seven children were born from this marriage. The sons Jan (1913) and Clement (1916) became painters, taught by their father. This painting was made during the period that the family lived in De Lage Vuursche. Then they moved to Kortenhoef.

Jan van Vlaardingen (1913-1980)

Summer landscape, painted en plein air by Jan on one of his favorite
painting spots: the Kromme Rade. This runs along the Vuntus Plas towards Hilversum. Jan was a virtuoso painter of the Dutch landscape.
This painting is an example of the endless and varied use of warm green tones and painted with a brush.
