Wie seine Vorgänger Jan van Goyen oder Simon de Vlieger bevorzugt auch van Diest das Thema des ruhigen Marinestücks mit hohem, betontem Wolkenhimmel, unter dem die Staffagefiguren bewusst klein erscheinen. Wie in den meisten seiner Bilder wird der Blick an den fernen Horizont geführt, an dem im grauen Licht noch ein Zweimaster mit holländischer Fahne zu sehen ist. Ein schmaler Lichtstreifen zieht am Horizont entlang, darüber im Zentrum eine große, gebauschte Wolke. Das Sonnenlicht bricht sich in der Gischt der zum Ufer treibenden Wellen. Im Vordergrund locker verteilt die Figurenstaffage mit Fischern und bürgerlich gekleideten Leuten. Die Lichtstimmung ähnelt ebenfalls der in den Gemälden der genannten Meister.

Willem van Diest,
circa 1610 – 1673 The Hague
DUTCH BEECH WITH SAILING SHIPS AND FIGURE STAFFAGE
Oil on canvas.
58 x 84 cm.
Signed and dated “W. v. Diest 1659”.
Just like his predecessors Jan van Goyen or Simon de Vlieger, van Diest also prefers the subject of the calm maritime piece with high, accentuated cloudy sky under which the staffage figures seem deliberately diminutive. As in most of his paintings the view is guided towards a distant horizon. The atmospheric light is also similar to the paintings of the earlier mentioned painters.
Provenance:
Swedish private collection.
This object has been individually compared to the information in the Art Loss Register data bank and is not registered there as stolen or missing.
