The artist Wim Bos lived and worked in Rotterdam, Brussels, Antwerp and Paris, among others. In 1924 he returned to Rotterdam. Bos formed himself. In Rotterdam he was not only inspired by the loading and unloading activities in the harbours and by the shipping traffic; the work of well-known Rotterdam painters such as Van Mastenbroek, Evert Moll and Marinus Drulman also stimulated him to frequently choose the harbour activities as the subject of his paintings.
Wim Bos developed his own impressionistic style, which was close to that of Marinus de Jongere. In addition to harbour views, he also painted, drew and watercoloured views of the water. His harbour views exude that typical atmosphere of the pre-war harbour, with coal firing, screeching steam whistles, rattling anchor chains in the hawsehole, and squeaking and creaking cranes and loading booms. Wim Bos transferred this emotion to his oil paintings.
