Title: [Fishermen bringing in their catch on a crowded beach, with the church of Scheveningen in the background].[Scheveningen, Hendrick de Meijer, ca. 1670]. 49.5 x 78 cm. Oil on oak panel. Mounted in a wooden frame with gilded stucco (70 x 98 cm).
Description: Fine painting by Hendrick de Meijer showing Dutch fishermen offloading their daily catch on the beach near Scheveningen. One looks out on numerous fishing boats on the beach and a few still at sea, people (mostly fishermen) and animals, and an elaborate horse-drawn carriage appears in the foreground with the church of Scheveningen directly behind it in the background. De Meijer (Rotterdam ca. 1620-ca. 1689) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter of the "Albert Cuyp School". The painting is monogrammed in the bottom left corner "HDM".Provenance: (possibly) from the collection of Nicolas-Marie Baron Clary (1820-1869) in Paris, probably mentioned in the inventory made just after his death on 27 January 1869: no. 143 "Meyer - Plage de Schevelengen"; later part of a private collection in Paris and after that of a private collection in the Netherlands.In very good condition.l RKDartists: https://rkd.nl/artists/55733; Schadee, Rotterdamse meesters uit de Gouden Eeuw, p. 288; Wurzbach, Niederländisches künstler-lexicon... vol. 2, pp. 156-157.
