The townscapes of Oene Romkes de Jongh show all the characteristics of the romantic Dutch townscape as it took shape in Amsterdam in the 19th century: the precise elaboration, the lively furnishings and the attention to old, Dutch architecture. Not much is known about the painter himself. He was born in Makkum in 1812 and probably lived and worked most of his life in Amsterdam. There he was mainly inspired by the work of contemporary Cornelis Springer and his pupil Adrianus Eversen. The painter's oeuvre includes atmospheric cityscapes in summer and winter, including those of Amsterdam and the Zuiderzee harbours, and a few landscapes.
