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:) Aan de kust zie je de mooiste zee. Daar heb ik ook mijn panorama gemaakt. Dat beschouw ik als mijn belangrijkste werk; omdat 't zoo'n groote impressie geeft van de natuur. Maar'k zou 't niet graag nog's weer beginnen; daar zestien honderd meter doek te schilderen..
Quote of Mesdag (after 1881), cited by Godfried Bomans?, in magazine De Volkskrant, 23 July, 1966
