Hendrik Willem Mesdag (1831–1915) painter from the Northern Netherlands
translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek
(original Dutch: citaat van Hendrik Willem Mesdag, in het Nederlands:) ..thuis [in Brussel, 1869] had ik een heelen winter aan een werkstuk zitten scharrelen; 't was een kust, maar zo naiëf geschilderd. Toen zei ik: je moet de zee voor je zien, elken dag, er mee leven, anders wordt het niets. En toen gingen we naar Den Haag.
Quote of Mesdag, as cited by J.D. in 'Een Zeerob', in De Nieuwste Courant, 9 March, 1901
