Catalogue Note
Philip Sadée owes his fame to lively beach and dune scenes, painted in a style characterised by clear colours and accurate, finished brushwork. He started out as a painter of historical and biblical subjects, earning him considerable success in the early part of his career. Around 1865 he distanced himself from these academic subjects and focused his attention on genre scenes taken from daily life. He studied for six months with the Düsseldorf genre painter Albert Kindler, whose colourful, finished style left a clear imprint on Sadée's art.
in 1868 a stay in the fishing village Scheveningen aroused Sadée's interest in fisherfolks' life. He returned there regularly, especially in autumn when there was much activity on the beach and the skies displayed the wonderful greyish tones that became a hallmark of the Hague School. His contribution to the popular fishing-genre was completely original, as Gram recognised in an article on the painter (1898): 'He depicts the life of the fishermen in his own way and leaves his own personal mark on his art', thus Gram, who ranged Sadée among the most talented painters of the Hague School.
