Jan Hillebrand Wijsmuller

From 1876 on Jan Hillebrand Wijsmuller began studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam – better known as Rijksacademie.

They led him to the Akademie van beeldende Kunsten — Den Haag,[4] the famous Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles and the Hague School in its heyday.

His friends included the well known artists Ernst Witkamp, Nicolaas van der Waay and Carel Dake.

In his creative works the former life of agile, thriving metropolis Amsterdam was immortalized.

They include scenes canals, windmills and older landscapes with the day's work of fisherman.

His repertoire is completed by the classic Dutch theme – the continuation of the tradition of the coastal landscape of the North Sea.

His paintings live by the harmonious play of colors, sky, clouds, water and landscape.
