About the Item

Martinus Kuytenbrouwer Amersfoort, The Netherlands 1821 – 1897 Paris, France Dutch Painter Along the River “La Meuse” Signature: Signed lower right Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 81 x 100 cm, frame size 93 x 111 cm Biography: Martinus Antonius Kuytenbrouwer, commonly known as Martinus, was born on November 21, 1821, in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. He inherited his artistic talents from his father, Kuytenbrouwer Martinus Sr., and further honed his skills under the guidance of Eugène Isabey, a renowned French Romantic Painter, during his studies in Paris. Martinus distinguished himself as a painter, specializing in landscapes adorned with animals. His artistic repertoire expanded beyond painting, as he also engaged in drawing, etching, and lithography. Notably, he served as a painter at the court of Napoleon III, marking a significant chapter in his career. Initially based in The Hague until 1845, Martinus ventured to Paris in 1847, where he immersed himself in the vibrant artistic scene of the city. His time in The Hague saw him exhibit his works from 1845 to 1864, showcasing his growing prominence in the Dutch art community. The period between 1849 and 1860 witnessed Martinus residing and working in Brussels, a city that further enriched his artistic experiences. After this stint, he returned to Paris and Fontainebleau, contributing to the artistic circles in these iconic French locales. Collaboration played a vital role in Martinus's career, and in 1864, he joined forces with Nicolaas Johanes Wilhelmus de Roode, a Dutch painter known for his portraits. This partnership undoubtedly added depth and diversity to Martinus's artistic endeavors. The artist's life journey brought him back to Paris, where he spent his final years. Martinus Antonius Kuytenbrouwer passed away on November 12, 1897, leaving behind a legacy of artistic brilliance. One of his enduring contributions to the art world is a portrait displayed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, capturing his essence as an artist. Additionally, a pen drawing by Martinus recently found its place in the Rijksmuseum, having originally been housed in the Brussels Museum, serving as a testament to the enduring value of his work. Martinus Antonius Kuytenbrouwer's artistic legacy lives on through his paintings, drawings, and collaborative efforts, reflecting his dedication to the craft and his enduring impact on the art scene of his time.

  • View of the Bergsee - Oil on Canvas by Josef Brunner - Mid 19th Century
    By Josef Brunner
    Located in Roma, IT
    View of the Bergsee is an original modern artwork realized by the Austrian artist and painter Josef Brunner in the middle of the XIX Century. Original Oil painting on Canvas cm. 72 x 3 x 102 (canvas). A beautiful original XIX Century decorated frame is included (total dimensions: 100 x 5 x 130). Both the work and the canvas are in very good conditions. Beautiful and intense oil painting depicting the Austrian mountain lake Bergsee. The painting is characterized by a particular play between lights and shadows: the light indeed is distributed in an extremely suffused but homogeneous way on the view but it is also able to create that sense of magic that characterized the whole landscape. The color of the lake therefore assumes a transparency and an iridescent blue that tends to the green and reflects the color of the surrounding mountains. The sky appears full of rainy clouds but they still allow the rays of the last sun to shine on. The general vision conveys calm and tranquility thanks also to the refined use of color and the play of lights and shadows, the turquoise and the pale opaque blue of the lake is perfectly emphasized by the various green tones of the trees. The white, gray and light brown rocky mountains embrace the lake and the cloudy sky in shades of blue increases the feeling of tranquility. The landscape is desolate; the only signs of life are the three fishermen on the shore: they are three small figures painted in different poses and illuminated by the light too. The surface of the water reflects in a spectacular way the surrounding landscape, it is similar to the surface of a mirror. The style, fantastic and almost dreamy, is into the full Germanic Romanticism. Mindful of Caspar David Friedrich's memoirs (Greifswald, 1774 - Dresda, 1840), the author certainly took his cue from the style of the German and the Austrian Romanticism; tangible signs of Romantic painting are the choice of the subject, an uncontaminated Nordic landscape, and the almost fairytale atmosphere that we find in the composition. This wonderful Romantic painting was created by the Austrian artist Josef Brunner (Wien, 1826 - Wien, 1893). Joseph Brunner was the son of Joseph...

He was a book illustrator as well as a renowned oil and watercolour artist, producing engravings for the London Illustrated News and Art Journal. He wrote 'Trees and How to Paint Them' in 1883. Boot was born in Manchester. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1874 to 1884, showing mainly English and Continental landscapes. He is known to have travelled extensively in Germany, France and North Africa. Boot was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and of the Arts Club, who listed him as a "painter and writer on Gothic architecture". Boot also painted domestic genre and interior scenes but tended to concentrate on landscapes. Boot lived and married in London. He is buried with his wife in Hampstead. The subject of this painting, Kirkstall Abbey in Yorkshire, was a place Boot often visited.
