SUNDAY Feature on Art of Architecture -by Gautam Shah
.
Everhardus Koster (1817-1892) was a Dutch Painter. He is known for the beach, coastal areas, of the sea and rivers. He also painted cityscapes and few brilliant landscapes. He studied art under B J van Hove at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. He then went to Frankfurt, where he improved his skills by copying Old Masters at the Städel and studying at the Städelschule. After his studies he worked in Amsterdam.
Koster was a master of composition and he skillfully rendered pieces in various media including ink, water colour and oil. His style was between Romanticism and the Hague School. The Hague School of artists, presented scapes conveying the atmosphere rather then sheer topographic elements.
