Fall
October 11, 2025 – January 18, 2026
Exhibition of the work of Samal Joensen Mikines (1906-1979), born on the Faroe Islands. The artist worked mainly on the island of Mykines – where he was famous – and was inspired by his immediate surroundings: the sea, the rugged hilly landscape, the cold hills and small fishing villages. His work is somewhere between impressionistic and expressionistic and focuses mainly on light and space. During his life Mikines contemplated alternately on the islands and in Denmark, where he considered gold as one of the important cards of his generation. The exhibition at the Museum Belvédère derides small landscapes and sea paintings that have similarities with the work of Northern Dutch landscape painters who are represented in the museum's collection. A Dutch monograph will be published to accompany the exhibition.
Spring 2026
February 14 – June 7, 2026
A wide selection of never-before-seen monumental harbor scenes painted on ship packaging material by Jan Roos (1951), one of the most important Frisian painters and a permanent fixture at Museum Belvédère. Since the 1980s, Roos has been expressing his impressions of the shipyards and the harbor of Harlingen with broad, expressive painting gestures. In the open air – often in all weathers – he sets up his compositions, and then completes them in the studio.
