The famous Dutch artist J. C. van Hunnik, born in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1925 is well-known for his nostalgic paintings of Dutch Villages, Windmill Scenes, Tulip Fields and idyllic scenes which depict life in Holland as it was. A representative, in Holland, has been commissioned to sell a large number of Hunnik's original artwork and is looking for an art gallery which can act as an intermediary. It is preferred, if possible, that all originals stay together and go to a collector or museum. For information about the artist, visit www.srk.demon.nl. Interested parties should contact hunnik.art@gmail.com
