Derk Smit (1889–1985) – Original Oil Landscape Painting
Bridge Over Stream with Autumn Foliage
This captivating oil-on-canvas landscape by noted Dutch-American artist Derk Smit Circa 1960's beautifully captures a tranquil countryside scene. At its center, a charming stone bridge arches gracefully over a gently flowing stream, surrounded by verdant foliage and trees ablaze with autumnal tones of red, orange, and golden yellow. Rolling hills and a soft, cloud-dappled sky provide a serene backdrop, while Smit’s impressionistic brushwork lends warmth and depth to the composition. Magical painting color changes in the direct sunlight and shade.
Housed in an ornate, aged gold frame measuring 17.5" high x 21.25" wide x 1" deep, the painting itself measures 14" x 18".
About the Artist:
Derk Smit (1889–1985) was a Dutch-born American painter renowned for his evocative landscapes and interior decorative work. After immigrating to the U.S. in 1914, Smit studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and exhibited widely, including with the Hoosier Salon and Brown County Art Gallery Association. A founding member of the Laguna Hills Art Association, Smit’s impressionistic style—deeply influenced by Dutch and Flemish masters—captures the atmospheric beauty of the American countryside with a refined European sensibility.
This work is a fine example of his artistic legacy and would make a distinguished addition to any traditional or transitional interior.
