Jos Lussenburg

Johannes "Jos" Lussenburg (Enkhuizen, 20 November 1889 – Nunspeet, 28 July 1975) was a Dutch painter and musician.

Lussenburg's grandfather was a professional fisherman from Enkhuizen and he loved the romance of the rough live as fisher.

Many of Lussenburg's paintings show the rough waves of the shallow Zuiderzee with one or more fishing sailing boats in action.

[1] In 1963, he published a book called De stervende zee (The dying sea) about the end of the fishing industry in the former Zuiderzee.

The paintings of Lussenburg have found their way into several museums about the Zuiderzee or IJsselmeer and there are two virtual expositions of his work on the internet.
