Though he painted, especially in See also:early See also:life, domestic scenes and interiors invested with deeply sympathetic feeling, it is as a landscape painter that See also:Maris will be famous
.
He was the painter of See also:bridges and windmills, of old quays, massive towers, and level See also:banks; even more was he the painter of See also:water, and misty skies, and See also:chasing clouds
.
In all his See also:works, whether in water or oil See also:colour, and in his etchings, the subject is always subordinate to the effect
.
His See also:art is suggestive rather than decorative, and his force does not seem to depend on any preconceived method, such as a synthetical treatment of See also:form or gradations of See also:tone
.
And yet, though his means appear so See also:simple, the artist's mind seems to communicate with the spectator's by directness of pictorial See also:instinct, and we have only to observe the admirable See also:balance of See also:composition and truthful See also:perspective to understand the sure knowledge of his business that underlies such purely impressionist handling
.
Maris has shown all that is gravest or brightest in the landscape of Holland, all that is heaviest or clearest in its See also:atmosphere—for instance, in the " See also:Grey See also:Tower, Old See also:Amsterdam," in the " Landscape near See also:Dordrecht," in the " See also:Sea-See also:weed Carts, See also:Scheveningen," in " A See also:Village See also:Scene," and in the numerous other pictures which have been exhibited in the Royal Academy, See also:London, in See also:Edinburgh (1885), Paris, See also:Brussels and Holland, and in various private collections
.
" No painter," says M
.
Philippe Zilcken, " has so well expressed the ethereal effects, bathed in See also:air and See also:light through floating silvery mist, in which painters delight, and the characteristic remote horizons blurred by haze; or again, the grey yet luminous See also:weather of Holland, unlike the dead grey See also:rain of See also:England or the heavy See also:sky of Paris."
