Description
Kerkbuurt, a Dutch village on Marken Island, Holland.
For some time during the later 19th and early 20th centuries, Marken and its inhabitants were the focus of considerable attention by folklorists, ethnographers and physical anthropologists, who regarded the small fishing town as a relic of the traditional native culture that was destined to disappear as the modernization of the Netherlands gained pace.
This digital painting is from a photograph taken circa 1895. These great old colorized photographs remember a time gone by. But time has deteriorated many of them. My goal is that through painting them they are restored to life. I hope they touch you as they do me.
