Bernardus Johannes Blommers
Bernardus Johannes Blommers
Dutch, 1845 - 1914
Early in his career, he learned lithography* and then studied at the Hague Academie of Art under Johan Philip Koelman. His early painting subjects were primarily genre subjects of fishermen and their wives and were heavily influenced by Hague School painter Jozef Israels. Blommers later works were more loosely painted, moving from Tonalism* to Impressionism*, although his subject matter remained focused on marine subjects.
He traveled extensively for his painting subjects, and countries depicted in his artwork include Holland, Germany, Hungary, South America and the United States, where he did a portrait of Andrew Carnegie. This portrait is in the Peace Palace at The Hague.
