Fish in an Aquarium 1890 - 1924

"Fish in an Aquarium" is a painting by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, created between 1890 and 1924. The painting, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a dark, shadowy scene, with a few faint outlines of fish swimming in an aquarium. Dijsselhof's use of muted colors and abstract shapes creates a sense of mystery and depth, emphasizing the unseen movements of the fish within the confines of their watery environment. This minimalist approach to subject matter is characteristic of Dijsselhof's artistic style, often exploring themes of confinement and the relationship between nature and human intervention.
