Biografie[bewerken]
Vroege jaren
Mesdag was een zoon van de stijfselfabrikant, later bankier, Klaas Mesdag en Johanna Willemina van Giffen. Hij werd geboren in Groningen en toonde al jong belangstelling voor tekenen en schilderen. Er is een tekening Waterval van hem bekend die hij maaktetoen hij nauwelijks 14 jaar oud was. Zijn Groninger leermeesters waren C.B. Buijs en J.H. Egenberger, directeur van Academie Minerva. Hij leek echter voorbestemd voor een zakenloopbaan in het bedrijf van de familie. Op 23 april 1856 trouwde hij met Sientje van Houten. Ook zij had een artistieke belangstelling. Hun enig kind, Klaas, werd zeven jaar later geboren en overleed op achtjarige leeftijd.

In 1866 gaf Mesdag zijn zakenberoep op en besloot hij definitief als schilder te leven, daarin stevig aangemoedigd door Sientje. De zomer van dat jaar bracht hij door in Oosterbeek, dat toen bekendstond als het 'Hollandse Barbizon'. Daar werkte hij samenmet Johannes Warnardus Bilders. Zijn neef Lourens Alma Tadema, ook schilder, introduceerde Mesdag te Brussel bij Willem Roelofs, die daar al sinds 1846 woonde. Roelofs werd zijn ultieme leermeester, van 1866 tot 1869. Ook met de Vlaamse landschaps- en dierenschilder Alfred Verwee ontstond een vriendschappelijke band.

Zeegezichten
In de zomer van 1868 trok Mesdag met vrouw en kind naar het waddeneiland Norderney. Daar ontdekte hij de zee, de luchten en de sfeer die de basis zouden worden voor zijn artistieke beleven. In 1869 verhuisde hij naar Den Haag en betrok een woning aan de Anna Paulownastraat. Even later liet hij, samen met zijn zwager Samuel van Houten, een huis bouwen aan de Laan van Meerdervoort, dat nu deel uitmaakt van het museum De Mesdag Collectie. Vaak huurde hij in Scheveningen een kamer in de Villa Elba, het latereHôtel Rauch, om dicht bij de zee te kunnen zijn.

In 1870 kreeg hij zijn eerste erkenning: een gouden medaille op de Parijse Salon, met een werk dat hij Les brisants de la Mer du Nord noemde. Het werd aangekocht door het jurylid Charles Chaplin. Tussen 1873 en 1896 werden zijn inzendingen meermaals met medailles bekroond op de internationale exposities van Londen (1873), Lyon (1876), Philadelphia (1876), Amsterdam (1880), Berlijn (1886) en Florence (1896).

Functies
Mesdag speelde in het kunstleven van Den Haag een belangrijke rol. Op 31 januari 1876 werd de Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij opgericht. Mesdag werd bij de oprichting in het bestuur opgenomen, naast Anton Mauve en Willem Maris. Ieder jaar, in augustus, werd een belangrijke aquarellen-expositie georganiseerd. Ook Johannes Bosboom en J.H. Weissenbruch exposeerden er.
In 1889 werd hij lid van de Nederlandse Etsclub. Net als menig ander kunstenaar uit de Haagse School, had Mesdag niet een uitgesproken voorkeur voor het etsen. Er zouden slechts twee etsen van zijn hand komen. Wel produceerden andere kunstenaars, zoals Philip Zilcken, meerdere etsen naar werken van hem.
Hij werd ook opgenomen in het schilderkunstig genootschap Pulchri Studio en speelde er al gauw een voortrekkersrol. Van 1889 tot 1907 was hij voorzitter en daarna erevoorzitter tot zijn overlijden in 1915. Hij en zijn broer Taco verwierven in 1896 het huis van de vroegere minister Gijsbert van Tienhoven aan het Lange Voorhout, om er de Pulchri-exposities in onder te brengen. Hij liet het herinrichten en aanpassen. De eerste ledenexpositie kon geopend worden op 13 juli 1901. Pulchri is er nog steeds gevestigd.

Verzamelaar

Voorbereiding voor vertrek
Intussen was de zakenman in hem ook blijven voortleven en had hij, vooral in Parijs, een uitgebreide collectie waardevolle schilderijen verworven, waarin de School van Barbizon een opvallende rol speelde. Hij verzamelde meer dan 200 werken en bracht ze onder in een bijgebouw dat hij had laten optrekken in de tuin van zijn woning aan de Laan van Meerdervoort en dat in 1887 het Museum H.W. Mesdag werd.

In Frankrijk gold Mesdag als een zeer belangrijk schilder en verzamelaar. In 1899 muntte hij uit op de expositie bij Durand-Ruel in Parijs. Uit de recensie bleek: ...Er hoeft geen lof meer toegezwaaid te worden aan de Hollandse meester, enigszins Frans door adoptie, die sinds heel wat jaren in onze jaarlijkse Salons exposeert. Als officier in het Franse Légion d'honneur werd hij in 1902 opnieuw officieel vereerd met een eremedaille door de Franse Republiek. Sientje werd vermeld als: compagne de vie, d'artet de pensée du maître aimé.

Einde
Hij verloor zijn vrouw Sientje in 1909. Mesdag zelf stierf in Den Haag op 10 juli 1915 op 84-jarige leeftijd. Hij werd begraven op Oud Eik en Duinen, in het graf waarin sinds 1909 zijn vrouw lag. Op de liggende steen is alleen de naam Mesdag te lezen. In1930 werd in het graf ook de politicus Samuel van Houten, de broer van Sientje, bijgezet. Deze is bekend van het Kinderwetje van Van Houten.

De Mesdag Collectie[bewerken]

Hendrik Willem Mesdag - Aankomst van de Vis, (1875) Visserij & Vlaardings Museum
In 1903 schonk hij het Museum H.W. Mesdag met de hele collectie aan de Staat der Nederlanden. Hij bleef directeur van het Rijksmuseum Hendrik Willem Mesdag tot in 1911. In dat jaar kon hij nog Armand Fallières, president van de Franse Republiek, rondleiden.

Als dankbetuiging voor zijn schenking van zijn collectie aan de staat ontving hij het Grootkruis in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau. Daarbij was hij ook Commandeur in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw, Commandeur in de Belgische Leopoldsorde, Commandeur in de Deense Orde van de Dannebrog en Ridder in de Orde van de Italiaanse Kroon.

Panorama Mesdag[bewerken]
1rightarrow blue.svg Zie Panorama Mesdag voor het hoofdartikel over dit onderwerp.
Het Panorama Mesdag is het bekendste schilderij van Hendrik Willem Mesdag. Het werd geschilderd in 1881, waarbij hij samenwerkte met zijn vrouw Sientje en de jongere collega-schilders Th. de Bock, G.H. Breitner en B.J. Blommers. Na het faillissement van de Belgische exploitatiemaatschappij van het Panorama, wegens tegenvallende inkomsten, kocht Mesdag in 1886 het Panorama om het van de ondergang te redden. Na een uitgebreide restauratie is het vandaag de dag nog steeds te bezichtigen.

MENACE TO ART.
It is gratifying to learn that something
is being done to secure the repeal
or modification of the Cummins amendment
to the Interstate Commerce Act,
which became a law on June 2, and injures
not alone artists and art dealers,
but the art museums of the whole country.
It more than doubles the expense
of shipping pictures by providing that
shippers, under penalty of fine or imprisonment
shall declare full value on
all shipments, practically enforcing
added insurance. A box of pictures
weighing 250 pounds and valued at $20,-
000, would cost without valuation on
ᖠthe box for a certain distance, $10 for
freight andry$30 for insurance placed
through the insurance companies. With
the new ruling making the express
company the insurers, the cost would
be $80. The object of the government
should be to foster art and not hamper
it, and the Federation of Arts, institutions
and firms or individuals, who
have protested should make concerted
endeavor to relieve this unfortunate
situation, which causes annoyance as
well as^ hardship, ^especially - affecting
the travelling exhibitions which have
done so much for localities distant
from the main art centers.
Paul Nelson.
Paul Nelson, a French architect, who
spent some five years in this country, his
brothers August and Robert, both living
in New York, was killed recently at the
front at the age of thirty-eight. He closed
his business in Paris at the outbreak of the
war and was wounded soon after. He was
a graduate of the Ecole des Beaux Art and
had worked in this city in the offices of Carrere
and Hastings and Whitney and Warren
as well as in Chicago.
Germany, died June 16 at the age of 66 at
his home in Paterson, N,: J. ·Ä¢

Hendrick Willem Mesdag.
The death was announced on July 12 as
having just occurred at the Hague at the
age of 84, of Henrik Willem Mesdag, the
famous Dutch marine painter, who had long
been in failing health. His pictures of
Holland fishing boats, on and off shore,
figure in galleries and private collections of
modern works the world over. Mesdag,
who it seems now strange, on account of the
wide diversity of the subject and style, was
a pupil of Alma-Tadema and born in Groningen.
He won a medal at the Paris Salon
in 1870. At the Universal Exposition of
1878 he took a third class medal, at that of
1889 a gold medal and the Legion of Honor
and at the international display of 1900
another gold medal. At Philadelphia in
1876 where he exhibited Evening on the
Beach, he won also a medal. He sent to
the London Royal Academy in 1871 A Fleet
of Fishing Boats at Scheveningen and in
1872 A Fishing Smack. At Paris in 1876
he had two canvases, The Departure and
Return of a Life Boat at Scheveningen in
1877, Summer Evening and Twilight
and in 1878 Ready to Weigh Anchor,
Scheveningen and The Scheldt - Morning.

portrait of that artist who became his friend.
