Pieter Daniël Dik (1943-1984) is internationally known as a painter of 'wild life'. Dik is known to have wandered around in the woods for days to capture the atmosphere of the forest and the wild animals that lived there in his own unique way. Dynamic and tranquil at the same time. King Baudouin and Prince Bernhard, who were both avid hunters, collected his work. Prince Bernhard even exhibited a number of his works at an exhibition on the occasion of his 75th birthday in the Singer Museum in Laren.
In this work offered, Pieter Daniël Dik shows himself from a completely different side and the artist follows in the footsteps of the 19th century Dutch School. To which he then adds an expressive undertone. Yet the signature of the artist is clear. True to his 'wild life' paintings, we also see that peculiar mix of dynamics and stillness in this classically looking work.
