Holland when the Franco-Prussian See also:War See also:broke out, and died there in See also:August 1899. Though he painted, especially in See also:early See also:life, domestic scenes and interiors invested with deeply sympathetic feeling, it is as a landscape painter that Maris will be famous. He was the painter of See also:bridges and windmills, of old quays, massive towers, and level See also:banks; even more was he the painter of See also:water, and misty skies, and See also:chasing clouds. In all his See also:works, whether in water or oil See also:colour, and in his etchings, the subject is always subordinate to the effect. His See also:art is suggestive rather than decorative, and his force does not seem to depend on any preconceived method, such as a synthetical treatment of See also:form or gradations of See also:tone. And yet, though his means appear so See also:simple, the artist's mind seems to communicate with the spectator's by directness of pictorial See also:instinct, and we have only to observe the admirable See also:balance of See also:composition and truthful See also:perspective to understand the sure knowledge of his business that underlies such purely impressionist handling. Maris has shown all that is gravest or brightest in the landscape of Holland, all that is heaviest or clearest in its See also:atmosphere—for instance, in the " See also:Grey See also:Tower, Old See also:Amsterdam," in the " Landscape near See also:Dordrecht," in the " See also:Sea-See also:weed Carts, See also:Scheveningen," in " A See also:Village See also:Scene," and in the numerous other pictures which have been exhibited in the Royal Academy, See also:London, in See also:Edinburgh (1885), Paris, See also:Brussels and Holland, and in various private collections. " No painter," says M. Philippe Zilcken, " has so well expressed the ethereal effects, bathed in See also:air and See also:light through floating silvery mist, in which painters delight, and the characteristic remote horizons blurred by haze; or again, the grey yet luminous See also:weather of Holland, unlike the dead grey See also:rain of See also:England or the heavy See also:sky of Paris."
