J.M. Graadt van Roggen was one of the first artists to settle in Bergen (NH). From here he traveled extensively, drawing and painting along the Dutch coast, in Brittany and southern Europe. Graadt van Roggen loved the coast and the sea: he often stayed in Zeeland, where he painted in Zoutelande and Veere, and participated with well-known artists such as Mondriaan, Hart Nibbrig and Jan and Charley Toorop in summer exhibitions that Jan Toorop held in Domburg between 1911 and 1920. Graadt van Roggen gained great (inter)national fame especially with his etchings. Until 1908 he mainly made reproducing etchings after paintings by well-known masters such as Van Ruysdael, J. Israels, J.H. Maris and J.H. Weissenbruch. Then he etched after his own work.
