Jacob Hendrik Pierneef (South African 1886-1957) VASCO DA GAMA SEIL OM KAAP PUNT signed and dated 49; signed, dated and inscribed with the title on the reverse oil on canvas laid down on board A Pretoria Art Museum label is adhered to the reverse 29 by 39cm Vasco Da Gama’s first expedition to the east passed the Cape of Good Hope in November 1497. The Portuguese Commander’s fleet consisted of three caravels and a crew of 148 men. Vasco Da Gama Seil Om Kaap Punt memorializes this historic event that was to shape the destiny of our country and indeed change the fortunes of Europe. Captured against a palette of blue sea, sky and land, three billowing caravels sail across the choppy sea. Emblazoned with the sovereign insignia of Portugal, the small ships are presented in the face of a gale as they round Cape Point. Completed in 1949 the small oil painting was gifted in the same year to a couple who appear to have been neighbours of the artist at Henley-on-Klip. Aan Jean en Dirk van May en Henk 1949 is inscribed on the back in pencil, and countersigned and dated by the artist above that. As an affirmation of all that embodied nationalism in South Africa, the subject emphasizes Pierneef’s belief that South African artists should have their own style and set of rules to follow. In this he was particularly against the influence that the colonial government exerted on art education, depending heavily on the so called “English” approach to art. The formal qualities of the seascape - sweeping vista, and tonal gradations, voluminous sky with a focal point of light, angular ships convey Pierneef’s signature style. However, the unusual nature of the subject matter may be partly explained by Dirk Lion-Cachet’s lineage and history. An engineer and head of the Rand Show in Johannesburg, Dirk Lion-Cachet built an acclaimed collection of art including many works by his friend and neighbour, Henk Pierneef before his death in 1985. He was descended from a lineage of Portuguese ancestry, an influential family of missionaries and protagonists for the development of Afrikaner Nationalism. These circumstances and interests coalesce in the lyrical painting of Lusitanian sailing caravels on the azure and windy Cape coast created by the artist as a tribute to his friend in 1949. Vasco Da Gama seil om Kaappunt was loaned to the Pretoria Art Museum, most likely for the opening exhibition in 1965. The same year a bronze model of Vasco da Gama’s caravel was presented to the museum by the Portuguese community. - C. K. https://www.pressreader.com/south-africa/the-citizen-gauteng/20161125/282789241041441 The work was gifted to Jeanne and Dirk Lion- Cachet “friends and supporters of Pierneef’s work.
