Adrianus Cornelis van Noort, also known as Arie, was born in Bennebroek, the Netherlands in 1914.
He began his artistic career with studies under Henri Fréderic Boot, a famous artist from Haarlem and studied the great masters of impressionism, a prominent force in all of his paintings.
Van Noort participated in several exhibitions organized at the end of the 40’s in the Frans Halsmuseum, Het Huis van Looy in the Waaggebouw. In 1942 he was accepted as a member of the society “Kunst zij ons Doel”.
Being an on-sight painter, mostly executing works of the beaches of Holland nearby his house, we can admire the great use of light and contrast, always feeling the mood of the day from which he painted with each piece vibrating with energy and movement.
This was his main objective, to gather the inspiration and feeling of the moment, and translate this into his canvases.
Van Nort was the last representative of The Hague School as an impressionist painter in the French line. He passed away in 2003. His son also a painter went on to adopt a similar style.
This painting perfectly represents the work of Cornelius Van Noort. A family on the beach, gazing toward the horizon, boats with white sails awaiting their skippers, a rolling sea, and a turbulent sky—the scene is set…
A great specialist in this type of Dutch beach views, Van Noort nonetheless possesses proven talent. With a few judicious touches of color, expertly organized, the artist creates incredible relief effects, bringing the sand, the sea, and the sky to life.
His Impressionist touch reveals the multidirectional brushstrokes that give these paintings depth. Cornelius Van Noort is considered the last representative of the Hague School as an Impressionist.
