EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor painting by Dutch artist Bernard Essers, titled "Sea near Bergen" (c.1925), captures the essence of the North Sea coast in the quaint fishing village of Bergen, Netherlands. The scene is set with the gentle undulation of the waves, their crests frothing against the pebbled shore. Two seagulls, Larus spp., perch on the beach, their silhouettes stark against the sky, as they survey the tranquil waters. In the distance, a flotilla of sailing boats, their sails billowing in the breeze, dot the horizon. Bernard Essers masterfully employs the use of color and brushwork to convey the mood and atmosphere of the scene. The cool blues and greens of the water, contrasted with the warm, sun-kissed hues of the sand and sky, create a sense of depth and texture. The intricate details of the boats, their rigging and sails, are rendered with meticulous precision, while the gulls' feathers are delicately depicted, their forms seemingly suspended in mid-air. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of Dutch maritime art, and a reminder of the enduring connection between the people of the Low Countries and the sea. This work, now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, invites us to reflect on the beauty and serenity of the natural world, and the simple pleasures of life by the sea.
