Description
Coastal Dunes – Jurriaan van Hesseling, The Netherlands, 1960s–1970s. Medium: Oil or mixed media on canvas / board. Dutch School, 20th century. This vintage painting by Jurriaan van Hesseling belongs to the tradition of Dutch post-war painting from the 1960s–1970s, a period marked by expressive freedom, painterly experimentation, and a renewed focus on subjective interpretation of landscape and form.
Although biographical documentation on the artist remains limited, the clearly legible signature confirms authorship, situating Van Hesseling as an identifiable Dutch painter active during the mid-20th century. The work demonstrates a confident, expressive handling of paint, suggesting an artist working within the broader context of post-Impressionist and expressionist influence that remained prominent in Dutch painting during this period.
The composition presents a coastal landscape characterized by rolling dune formations and restless surf beneath a brooding, overcast sky. Thick, energetic brushstrokes and a vigorous application of paint animate the surface, creating a dynamic interplay between land, sea, and atmosphere. Color is employed expressively rather than descriptively, reinforcing movement and emotional intensity rather than strict naturalism.
The painterly surface, marked by textured layers and visible gesture, reflects a practice rooted in expressive realism and post-Impressionist sensibilities, evoking associations with artists who emphasized emotional resonance and material presence over literal representation. The landscape functions not merely as a depiction of place, but as an experiential field shaped by wind, light, and motion.
This work stands as a representative example of mid-20th-century Dutch expressive landscape painting, combining recognizable motifs with a free, intuitive painterly language characteristic of the era. Dimensions Frame: Height 80 Width 99 cm. Visual: Height 61 Width 80 cm.
