July ('Summer Luxuriance') — Jac van Looij

Jac van Looij. Painted c. 1890 - c. 1910.

It seems as if Van Looy has lavishly strewn blue flowers all over this large canvas. Looking a bit longer, however, one notices the artist’s house in Soest and the hay wagons behind the tall hedge, and in the right foreground an overturned pot among the flowers. The painter was clearly inspired by the landscapes of Van Gogh, but his representation of nature and the fall of light are more realistic.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in The Hague School / Amsterdam impressionists / Van Gogh and contemporaries, Main building, 19th Century.
