Life and work
From 1876 on Jan Hillebrand Wijsmuller began studying at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam. 1877 followed his wandering years. They led him to the Académie des Beaux Arts at Brussel and the Hague School in its heyday.[1] – The latter brought forth so famous masters such as Johannes Bosboom, Paul Gabriël, the brothers Jacob Maris and Matthijs Maris, Anton Mauve and Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch. Here, Vincent van Gogh found his way into painting.[2]
He won the Willink van Collenprijs for young artists by which he had been supported. This is awarded annually by the Amsterdam Academy Arti et Amicitiae. In 1883 he had won this award. The name of his work is no longer known.
With own studio he has settled in Amsterdam. His friends included the artists Ernst Witkamp, Nicolaas van der Waay and Carel Dake became.
He belongs to the second generation of the Hague School.[3][4]
In his creative works the former life of agile, thriving metropolis Amsterdam was immortalized. Opposite pole are landscape portraits. They include scenes canals, windmills and polder landscape with 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. He also made portraits of the people of The Hague and surroundings.
He was a representative of the realism and the plein air painting. In his paintings he combines the influences of the first period of the Hague School, the Barbizon School[5] and the Impressionists.[6]
In his paintings he cleverly uses its own visual language for the spatial extent and depth. His paintings live by the harmonious play of colors, sky, clouds, water and landscape. The lighting is living though the material interactions typical of the Netherlands seasons and climate.
His works are characterized by their unique craft skills. His expressions were sketches on paper, and oil on wood and canvas. In the Netherlands, he is represented in the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam, too.
