that is the belief of art dealer and valuer Peter van Os.
The true art collector in you may well recognize himself in this statement by Peter van Os:
'I am only interested in art that really touches me. When I look at a work, it should bring me a sense of excitement, cause an increase in my heart rate! With the contemporary artists I represent, it is essential for me to have a deeper relationship, where we know and feel each other personally. Because of the bond we have, I appreciate and understand the extra dimension in their works. Hence my statement that the relationship between the artist and their work must be right and therefore inseparable. That is also directly my criterion for representing, curating and exhibiting a collection.'

ABOUT THE PAINTING
The painting depicts an impression of a harbor, probably the port of Rotterdam. The harbor was one of Gerard Delfgaauw's favorite subjects.
With the horizon in the background, the steamship leaves the harbor, surrounded by smaller ships and other smaller steamers.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dutch painter Gerardus Johannes Delfgaauw (1882-1947) lived and worked in Rijswijk since 1914. He was self-taught, mainly in the impressionist-naturalist style. He worked mainly around Rotterdam and The Hague, where he painted impressive landscapes, city and harbor views and winter scenes.
Delfgaauw's work was already highly regarded in his day. Through the art dealer van Gessel, his works were commissioned.
Pseudonym
To preserve the quality of his work, Delfgaauw is said to have painted for a short time under the pseudonym of H. van Gessel, although it is also likely that the art dealer himself signed these paintings as such.
