Description
BARUCH LOPES DE LEAU (1864–1943) Haarlemmer Houttuinen, Amsterdam signed ‘B Laguna’ (bottom left) oil on canvas 60 × 58 cm Painted in the early 20th century, this work depicts the Haarlemmer Houttuinen, one of Amsterdam’s oldest harbour districts. Much of the district was demolished during the urban regeneration projects of the 1960s and 1970s. This painting thus preserves the memory of an Amsterdam that no longer exists. Born into Amsterdam’s Sephardic Jewish community, Baruch Lopes Leão de Laguna studied at the Rijksakademie under August Allebé and was associated with the Laren School. Although he is best known for his portraits and floral still lifes, he also painted views of Amsterdam. He and his wife were deported to Auschwitz, where they perished in 1943 and 1944 respectively.
