Exhibition
19 Jan until 27 Apr 2025
Visit nowVoorstraat 46, Katwijk
The exhibition ‘IN THE DUNES’ tells the story of the rugged areas along the coast, shaped by natural as well as human influences. Both the unspoilt quality and dynamics of a natural area, and the small-scale agricultural activities and the poor beginnings of building are portrayed. And, of course, the increasing pressure of tourism, recreation and water collection at a time of declining biodiversity cannot be ignored.
Over the years, artists have tried to capture this area in all its diversity. The exhibition shows the unspoilt nature, characteristic of the late Romantic period, as well as modern works of art that display the power and the beauty of the dunes in the present day, by artists such as Jacob Kerssemakers, Leon Holmes and Carola Schapals. Works from the years that Katwijk was becoming an increasingly important artists’ village are on view as well, and include paintings, water colours and drawings by, among others, W. Mesdag, B.J. Blommers, H. von Bartels, J. Toorop and M. Liebermann.
The Katwijks Museum is located in the centre of Katwijk, at about 200 metres from the beach
