Jacob en Coba Ritsema were members of Arti et Amicitiae for many years and exhibited there regularly. Coba (1876–1961) grew into one of the most esteemed women painters of her time and was part of the Amsterdam Joffers. Her older brother Jacob (1869–1943) was a successful landscape painter, but ultimately ended up in the shadow of his sister.
During this exclusive Curator Tour, Naftalie Hershler, director of Stichting Kunsttunnel and initiator of the exhibition, will guide Arti members through the work of brother and sister. With attention to their artistic development, their mutual relationship, and their close bond with Arti.
*The guided tour is free for Arti members; only the regular museum admission applies. With a Museumkaart, admission is free. This tour follows on from the lecture that was given earlier, on 12 November, at Arti.
