Willem G.F. Jansen - Dutch Landscape

Beautiful work by the successful painter Willem George Frederik Jansen. In all his work it is clear that he was a great admirer of the painters of the Hague School. He was strongly influenced by them. His work is most related to that of Jacob Maris. With his own impressionistic style he was soon successful. He sold well, far beyond the borders of the country. And that is still the case. Jansen is an extremely skilled painter with a very own recognizable style. Characteristic is his smooth and accurate brushwork and his sense of color nuances. Both are clearly recognizable in this painting. Jansen's oeuvre mainly consists of landscapes: river views, forest landscapes, beach views and cityscapes. The work of WGF Jansen is included in various museum collections, including the Singer Museum in Laren, the municipal museum in Harlingen, the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen, and numerous smaller museums.
