It is my pleasure to offer you this magnificent handpainted Delft wall plate produced by The Royal Porceleyne Fles in Delft, The Netherlands.

De Porceleyne Fles was founded in 1653 however it got famous when Joost Thooft took over this small factory at Delft in 1876. He produced traditional blue on white Delft ware and tile tableaus but with a new technique.

The painters of Royal Delft are trained in the factory starting off with simple designs in blue/white on the smaller pieces. A painter first has to learn how to paint the little flowers and leaves that so characteristically adorn Delftware vases and the borders of Delftware plates. The painters then gradually progress to larger pieces with more complicated designs. Only the master painters, who have trained at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague paint the elaborate landscape and Dutch masters pieces.

As early as 1878 and 1879 contemporary Dutch artists entered into agreement with the Porceleyne Fles to allow their paintings to be copied. Landscapes were introduced to production, soon followed by genre paintings. Josef Israëls, Johannes Bosboom, Frederik Jacob van Rossum du Chattel, Anton Mauve, Otto Eerelmann, and Hendrik Willem Mesdag (all members of the artist's society "Pulchri Studio" in The Hague) played an important role. Contacts were easy because Adolf Lecomte, the artistic leader of The Porceleyne Fles was the brother in law of Anton Mauve.

This painting by Roermeester shows a view of a little farm along a creek where several rowing boats are moored.

Gerardus Johannes Roermeester (1844-1936) started his carreer as a decorative painter in The Hague and worked in Paris and New York as a decorator before he decided to become a painter artist. In The Hague he shared his workshop with Jacob and Willem Maris and became famous for his water color paintings of winter landscapes. He was a member of the Pulchri Studio in The Hague and of Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam.

This plate is marked at the front with "naar Roermeester" and fully marked at the back with the yearmark CA (=1956), the Royal Delft Logo, The stylized JT of Joost Thooft and the painters initials JPO (= Mr. J.H. Post who worked at De Porceleyne Fles from 1950-1983) who painted the rim and master painter HPL (= Mr. H.E. Planken who worked at De Porceleyne Fles from 1941-1990)
