Afgemeerde schepen in Concarneau 1888 - 1934

"Afgemeerde schepen in Concarneau," a woodcut by Willem Adrianus Grondhout, captures the essence of a quiet harbor scene. Created between 1888 and 1934, the artwork depicts three ships docked in the harbor, their black silhouettes sharply outlined against the water and sky. The rippling water is depicted with intricate detail, adding a sense of movement and depth to the composition. Grondhout's use of black and white highlights the stark contrast of the ships against the surrounding environment, creating a visually striking and evocative image. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Grondhout's masterful technique and his fascination with maritime subjects.
