Jan Zoetelief Tromp was born in Jakarta where his father worked as an official in the former Dutch East Indies. He began his artistic career in The Hague and continued in the Academy in Amsterdam. He lived and worked in The Netherlands until 1928, when he moved to France. Tromp was married to the daughter of Bernardus Blommers, and the influence of his father-in-law is clearly evident in his work. His love of strong light and saturated color is demonstrated in this charming portrayal of three children returning home through a field.

NB:
'Grootje Zoet', Tromp's grandmother, discovered at early stage that Jan was deaf-mute. From the Dutch Indies they left together for Europe to see specialists concerning his condition. Out of gratitude for the many travels and efforts, Tromp adopted his grandmother's name. After completing his education at the Kunstacademie in The Hague and the Academie voor Beeldende Kunst in Amsterdam, Tromp settled in The Hague. Soon after, his work acquired recognition. His paintings and watercolours depicting fishing and rural scenes are best known, but the scenes with children playing on the beach are also highly appreciated.

Footnote: PROVENANCE: with Hermann Schaus, New
York Jan Zoetelief Tromp was born in Jakarta, Indonesia
where his father worked as an official in the former Dutch East
Indies. He began his artistic education in The Hague and in 1893 he
enrolled in the Academy in Amsterdam. He lived and worked in the
Netherlands until 1928, when he moved to France. Tromp was
married to the daughter of Bernardus Blommers, and the influence of
his father-in-law is clearly evident in his oeuvre .
Tromp, like Blommers, was a painter of fisherfolk. Although a
member of The Hague school of artists, Tromp's work is more
colorful than many of his contemporaries. Tromp's love for
strong light and saturated color is demonstrated in children
playing along the seashore. Three children dig in the sand with the
waves softly lapping the shore behind them. The bright blue of the
little girl's dress and the sharp white of her little sister's
dress and cap stand out clearly against the gray of the water in
the afternoon light. Like Blommers, and unlike other members of The
Hague school who concentrated on the hardship of the lives of the
fisherfolk around Scheveningen, Tromp chooses instead to depict a
more anecdotal and idyllic view of peasant life.

CATALOGUE NOTE
Jan Zoetelief Tromp started his artistic education in 1887 atthe Academy of Arts of The Hague. He continued his training at theRijks Academie of Amsterdam headed by August Allebé (1838-1927), aDutch genre and still life painter who influenced him heavily. Itis through the training he received from this tutor that JanZoetelief Tromp acquired a preference for the human figure.In the beginning of his career Zoetelief Tromp's choice of subjectsand style were close to those of the Laren School-painters AlbertNeuhuijs (1844-1914) and Anton Mauve (1838-1888). This explains hismove to Blaricum in 1899, after his marriage to the daughter of thepainter Bernardus Johannes Blommers (1845-1914). Just like mostLaren School painters, the subjects he chose were local childrenand their parents in and around their farmhouses, depicted in darktonalities.From 1905 onwards Zoetelief Tromp and his family spent theirsummers in the coastal village of Katwijk, where eventually theywould live on a permanent basis. In this period a change in stylemanifested itself in Zoetelief Tromp's work. His work evaluatedfrom accurately drawn to a more flowingly painted, impressionisticstyle. Shapes became more indistinct and his palette grew moreluminous, a change in which critics like Albert Plasschaert(1866-1941) recognised the influence of his father-in-law. Not onlyhis style but also his choice of subjects changed. Instead of thesweet pictures of a mother with her children in and around theLaren and Blaricum farmhouses, he now painted scenes of children,returning from the fields along the dunes, with or without theirparents, a little goat or aprons filled with flowers.This wonderful painting is a good example of the scenes withchildren returning from the fields along the dunes. Thesepaintings, with bright and colourful compositions, clear blueskies, colourful clothing, blond hair and red cheeks radiate anenormous joy and optimistic view on life. Clearly this optimism wasinnate to the painter.

Children walking through a meadow signed 'J Zoetelief Tromp' (lower right) oil on canvas 40.5 x 49.5 cm. Provenance Mr Gunwald Gunderson, New York. Richard Green Fine Paintings, London, 1979. Private Collection, United Kingdom. Anonymous sale, Sotheby's, Amsterdam, 19 October 2004, lot 253. Lot Notes Jan Zoetelief Tromp was born in Batavia, the Dutch-Indies, in 1872. When his grandmother discovered Jan was mute, she decided to return to the Netherlands in order to give him the best possible education. Despite the fact that he was physically challenged, he could develop his creative skills. The only time he encountered problems was when he had to communicate with his models. Luckily, when he was married later in life, his wife would be present whilst he was working, translating what the painter wanted his models to do. Zoetelief Tromp mostly painted children and genre scenes. The influence of the artist and his father-in-law Bernardus Blommers (1845-1914) is apparent. Zoetelief Tromp's subject choice reveal his personality. He was a positive person and fond of children. His pictures of innocent childhood reflect on the affections between mother and child, but also the youthful friendships between children themselves. He would use bright saturated colours, wanting to portray the innocence of childhood as a very special and most careless period of one's life.
