Willem Hendrik van der Nat Goats Oil painting Dimensions: 30 cm x 34 cm Dimensions with frame: 44 cm x 49 cm Willem Hendrik van der Nat (Leiden, 1864–1929) was a versatile artist: painter, draftsman, watercolorist, sculptor, etcher, illustrator and lithographer. He received his first drawing lessons at a young age and later pursued training in The Hague and Leiden, where he befriended artist Floris Verster and art critic H.P. Bremmer. Initially Van der Nat worked as an illustrator and lithographer, but around 1900 he devoted himself entirely to painting. His style developed from the influence of the Hague School toward a more expressive, colorful approach, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He gained recognition with his paintings of sheep and goats, often created during his stays in Drenthe, but he also painted still lifes, landscapes and Spanish scenes. Van der Nat was co-founder of the Leiden artists’ association De Kunst om De Kunst and is counted among the core of the so-called Leiden Impressionists—a group of painters who distinguished themselves by their loose brushwork and vibrant use of color. They painted in and around the city of Leiden. The movement is related to the Hague School. There is a biography written by Willem L. Baars. (not with the purchase of the work). His work is represented in the collections of various museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterloo. Viewing is, of course, possible.
