Hendrik Willem Mesdag

Kingdom of the Netherlands
Hendrik Willem Mesdag is a Kingdom of the Netherlands Impressionism painter. 18 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum, most of them oil paintings.
Dutch painter Hendrik Willem Mesdag spent his career on water, turning choppy North Sea light into bold seascapes. Look at *Lighthouse in Breaking Waves* (1883) where the beam cuts through roiling foam, or *Fishing Boats from Scheveningen Anchored* (1850) with hulls bobbing in the harbor—both show why he was the go-to marine artist of his day. Tap *Marine Scene* (1879) to slide into the salty spray of 19th-century Holland.
