The artist worked mainly on the island of Mykines, which also gave him his name. He drew inspiration from his direct surroundings: the sea, the rugged hills, the bare slopes and the small fishing villages.
His work stands between Impressionism and Expressionism and focuses on light and space. During his lifetime, Mikines alternated between living on the Atlantic island group and in Denmark, where he was regarded as one of the leading artists of his generation.
The exhibition at Museum Belvédère presents mainly landscapes and seascapes that connect to the work of northern Dutch landscape painters represented in the museum’s collection.
A Dutch-language monograph will accompany the exhibition.
