Bather in Broekeling
Andreas Schotel is best known for his etchings of Rotterdam and Brabant, but the female nude is also a recurring theme throughout his oeuvre.
Andreas Schotel is best known for his etchings of Rotterdam and Brabant, but the female nude is also a recurring theme throughout his oeuvre.
Mies Gips (1898–1991), whom he married in Rotterdam on April 16, 1920, served as a model for his early etchings from the early 1920s. Immediately after World War II, Magdaleen Rademaker (1924–2010) became his student. She would serve as a model for many of his later etchings featuring nudes. These etchings also inspired Hannes Verhoeven to create the sculpture “Bather in Broekeling.”
