German, d. 1618

jacob jacobs was a German Barbizon school artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jacob Jacobs painted coastal scenes in oil and watercolor in the 1800s. His loose brushwork captures boats and harbors, like Porte d'Aval in Étretat (1876) or Fishing Boat Entering a Harbour. The water in A Boat in Harbour shimmers with light, while Waterfall in Norway (1855) shows rugged landscapes. Tap Hove Down to Careen to see his take on ship-repair yards along the English Channel.
