About the Item

Etching on laid paper. Signed and dated in plate lower left: maassluis Jongkind 1862 Published by Cadart Luquet, Éditeurs, 79 Rue Richelieu, Paris With the blindstamp of the Société des Aquafortistes, lower margin In Vue de la ville de Maassluis (Hollande), Johan Barthold Jongkind captures a quintessentially Dutch winter scene with poetic simplicity and atmospheric finesse. The composition unfolds along a frozen canal, where skaters glide in the clear winter light beneath an expansive sky. A windmill, solitary and monumental, anchors the left side of the image, its diagonal lines counterbalancing the distant silhouette of Maassluis and its church spire. Jongkind’s etched line—at once brisk and lyrical—reveals his exceptional gift for conveying air, light, and movementthrough the most economical means. The sparse yet dynamic composition embodies the transition from realism to impressionism: the artist’s sensitivity to tonal atmosphere and the fleeting effects of light anticipate the innovations of Monet, whom he mentored. This etching stands among Jongkind’s most celebrated plates, uniting topographical accuracy with emotional immediacy. The viewer is drawn into the tranquil rhythm of Dutch life—windmill, ice, sky, and human figures harmonized within a landscape of quiet modern poetry. Excellent impression on laid paper with full margins. Subtle time toning to the outer sheet, otherwise in superb condition. Rich, even inking with strong plate tone. A pioneering figure in 19th-century landscape art, Johan Barthold Jongkind bridged the Dutch tradition of tonal realism with the emerging sensibility of French Impressionism. A close associate of Eugène Boudin and early mentor to Claude Monet, Jongkind brought to etching the same spontaneous freshness that defined his plein-air painting. His prints, such as Vue de la ville de Maassluis, celebrate the luminous atmosphere of the Netherlands, distilled through the eye of a modern artist attuned to light and transience.

Final state published by in an editon of 12 by Garton & Cooke in 1982 (Nicolson published an edition of 40 in 1927). In states iii and iv, the swallow of the title was removed.

Garton writes, page 11: "The design was based on the Anglican chapel-of-ease is the farmyard of Bulisge at Allinston near Chippenham....The print was originally entitled The First Swallow, but the swallow was burnished out before the 1927 edition....Fifty years later new work was effected in the worn-out areas of the sky and distance to produce prints which, in his opinion, were better than those of the original edition."
