In 2023, the Fries Museum will dive into the personal life and art of the Leeuwarden-born artist Christoffel Bisschop (1828-1904) and his English wife Kate Bisschop-Swift (1834-1928). Their sources of inspiration, social environment and the work of contemporaries are also discussed. The exhibition shows how the Frisian artist uses the past as a great inspiration for the present. In particular, Bisschop becomes fascinated by the stubborn town of Hindeloopen.
Celebrate with us the free public opening on June 17. Click here for the program and tickets.
