About Maarten Platje
Since his youth, the Dutch landscape with its waterways and ships were subjects of his drawings and paintings. His hometown of Rotterdam and later a village near Den Helder (naval base) played an important role in this. His recognition as a talent followed soon. During an exhibition of marine painters in Den Helder, his entry was awarded a 1st prize.
