Biography
From a young age, Van der Vlist studied under the masters Willem van der Nat and Willem de Zwart, among others. He pursued his training as a painter, with the help of a royal grant, at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts (The Hague).

He lived in Leiden for a long time. A number of Dutch landscapes, and urban and rural scenes painted by him from the Leiden area date from that period. Van der Vlist was a roving artist with a fondness for Italy. Thus he traveled to Verona, Venice, Chioggia, Florence, Viareggio, Siena and Barga. But he also stayed for some time in Bruges and Karlsruhe.

In 1938 he was the winner of the first prize of the Willink van Collenfonds, and in 1943 he won the gold medal of Arti et Amicitiae.[2]

Van der Vlist has been a member of the associations De Haagsche Kunstkring, Vereeniging Sint Lucas (Amsterdam) and Maatschappij Arti et Amicitiae (Amsterdam).

The painting is carefully packaged and sent by registered mail.
