Leonard Bramer
Magdalene washing the feet of Christ in the House of Simon - Leonard Bramer

About the Item

Oil on copper. We'd like to thank dr. Guido Jansen for his attribution. On the backside a map of Holland (the painter reused an etching plate) Bramer was known for his genre, religious and history paintings. He is noted for his nocturnal scenes, usage of exotic details, costume and setting. He stayed away from typical Dutch themes such as landscapes, still lifes, portraits and genre pieces and he rarely painted Italianate pastoral scenes popular with the Utrecht Caravaggisti. At the center of the composition we can see Magdalene attending to the feet of Christ. The ambiance within the House of Simon is imbued with a sense of introspection and spiritual depth. The play of light and shadow evokes a contemplative atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the scene's emotional resonance. Bramer's masterful brushstrokes breathe life into this poignant encounter, capturing the essence of a transformative moment steeped in humility and redemption, inviting viewers to reflect on the profound themes of forgiveness, grace, and the power of genuine repentance

  • Castle and Windmills at Frozen Pond Dutch Winter Landscape 19th century Oil
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Painting signed lower right "M Kruseman". What sets this painting apart is the large number and complexity of details that the artist managed to include in the scene without visually overwhelming the viewer. The color palette of the landscape is very realistic and harmonious. The foreground of the picture there are people standing by a sleigh drawn by one horse, in front of a charming small castle with turrets, nearby boats frozen in the ice at the pier are visible. The background, on the left side of the scene, we see houses and three windmills standing tall against the winter sky, adding a touch of Dutch countryside charm to the composition. From the frozen surface of the water, the whimsical silhouettes of trees to the intricate details on the façade of the castle and windmills - every element of the painting is a testament to the skill and talent of the artist. Antique oil painting on canvas, signed, framed. Size app.: 40,5 x 57.5 cm cm (roughly 15.9 x 22.6 in), frame is 60 x 75.5 cm (roughly 23.6 x 29.7 in). Very good ready to hang condition with age wear and retouches to frame (notable at close examination). Please study good resolution images for cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 4.7 kg is going to measure 8 kg packed for shipment. Signature leads to the artist Fredrik Marinus Kruseman (1816 - 1882), Dutch painter who specialized in Romantic style landscapes (sold as is). Received his first drawing lessons from Jan Reekers (1790 - 1858) and attended the Vocational School in Haarlem from 1832 to 1833. That year, he began to study painting with Nicolaas Johannes Roosenboom and, in 1835, moved to the Gooi, where he took advanced studies with Jan van Ravenswaay. He also studied briefly with the landscape painter, Barend Cornelis Koekkoek.
