Rotterdam is a city in the Netherlands, located in South Holland, within the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt river delta at the North Sea. Its history goes back to 1270 when a dam was constructed in the Rotte river by people settled around it for safety. In 1340 Rotterdam was granted city rights by the Count of Holland and slowly grew into a major logistic and economic centre. Nowadays it is home to Europe's largest port and has a population of 633.471, ranking second in the Netherlands. More
Evert Moll (1878 - 1955) was one of the main port of Rotterdam painters. He was often found on the quay at the Waalhaven and Maashaven and there painted on its own, impressionistic way the port of Rotterdam in all its facets. Besides some lessons from Willem Maris, he was mainly self-taught. He painted many beautiful ports (but also still lifes and landscapes, eg Paris cityscapes).
In later life he had problems with alcohol. Hence his later paintings were messier and less kwaliteit.Hij stayed in London, Paris, Germany and then Rotterdam, Voorburg and The Hague. More on Evert Moll
