Oil on canvas, harbor scene. Untitled, unsigned. Dimensions: H 15.75" x W 19.5" Condition: Couple marks on the edges. Jaco Kranendonk was born and raised in Rotterdam, and has always been fascinated with ships and transportation. Ill as a child, he suffered undiagnosed mental illness and could not hold a job. After becoming medicated in the early '70's, he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for three years. In 1991, Kranendonk was one of the first artists to attend the Atelier Herenplaats, where once drawing and painting, his illness subsided and he has been obsessively painting ever since. Kranendonk has been exhibited extensively since 1998.
