De Schelde bij Veere | Jan Toorop

Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop (Poerworedjo, 20 december 1858 – Den Haag, 3 maart 1928) was one of the most important Dutch artists from the period 1880-1910. At first he painted in an impressionist style, later through the pointillism he developed to be a symbolic painter.
Between 1898 and 1923 Toorop spent his summer holidays in Domburg in the southern province of Zeeland, where he liked to paint in the open air. De schelde bij Veere was created in 1907.
