fun fact:
Verkade painted many landscapes, including a drop cloth he painted for a puppet show titled <em>Les Sept Princesses </em>(The Seven Princesses).

digital description:
Brittany, in northwestern France, was an important place to Verkade both artistically and spiritually. The artist was captivated by the terrain that differed so greatly from that of Amsterdam, inspiring a series of Breton landscapes. Verkade also converted to Catholicism during his travels to Brittany, shifting the trajectory of his art away from landscapes and toward a revival of religious painting and sacred art.
