Frans Helfferich

This work of Frans Helfferich was probably made ​​in Limburg, where he often stayed in the summer.
The Hague Academy teacher, himself pupil of Willem Maris, is known for his fine, often small The Hague cityscapes. His landscapes have a masterful sense of color and detail, but were in his own time sometimes considered too wild for a realistic painting. This large canvas (88 x 146 cm) is on sale at Christie's, Amsterdam.
