AMSTERDAM
.-The Rijksmuseum has received an exceptional seascape by Ludolf Bakhuysen as a gift from the Broere Charitable Foundation. A Seascape with Figures by a Boat on a Shore shows a serene view of the beach at Huisduinen, a village near Den Helder in the Netherlands. Ludolf Bakhuysen, who painted the panel in 1667, was one of the most prominent and prolific marine painters of the 17th century. The intention behind this generous gesture by the Broere Charitable Foundation is to offer moral and financial support to the Rijksmuseum and its employees during the difficult period of the Covid-19 pandemic. The painting will be on display in the Rijksmuseums Gallery of Honour from 9 June.
