J. Verduijk — Marketplace in an Old European Village, Oil on Canvas, 20×24”
Impressionist / Post-Impressionist Style Oil Painting
This richly textured oil painting, signed J. Verduijk, captures the lively charm of a historic European village market. Painted in an expressive impasto style, the work is filled with bustling figures, sun-washed stone architecture, weathered shutters, and colorful market awnings that evoke daily life in a Mediterranean or Southern European hill town.
Verduijk’s palette—earthy ochres, dusty blues, mossy greens—is applied in thick, sculptural strokes that give the architecture and cobblestones a tactile weight. The composition draws the eye upward from the shadowed foreground to the dramatic pastel sky, layered with cloud formations rendered in the same vigorous impasto technique.
The painting demonstrates an accomplished command of light, perspective, and figure placement, placing it squarely in the lineage of mid-century European genre and street scenes often associated with Italian, Dutch, or French school painters. Works signed J. Verduijk appear intermittently on the European secondary market, typically attributed to a mid-20th-century Continental painter known for architectural townscapes and market scenes.
A warm, atmospheric statement piece, this painting offers both decorative appeal and collectible charm.
