About the Item
”Rooster and Hens at Daybreak” is a delightful painting of rural life, created by the Belgian artist Frans van Severdonck (1809-1889). Van Severdonck, a native of Brussels, spent his lifetime capturing the essence of his surroundings, dedicating his artistic endeavors to the city where he was born. While the intricacies of his training are not well-documented, the finesse and skill apparent in his works suggest a sophisticated level of formal education in the arts.
Specializing in animal portraiture, van Severdonck's paintings often showcase a peaceful coexistence of farm animals, depicted with a sense of harmony and tranquility that is both soothing and endearing. The painting is from 1862 and is no exception to his masterful approach. It features a vivid landscape inhabited by a proud rooster, attentive hens, and playful chickens. This particular piece conveys a simple yet vibrant farmyard scene, teeming with life and character.
Each bird is portrayed with remarkable attention to detail, from the texture of their feathers to the intensity of their gaze, imbuing each with a distinct personality. The landscape itself is rendered with a pastoral charm, the clear sky and distant horizon line providing a perfect backdrop to the pastoral activity in the foreground. The naturalistic color palette and the delicate play of light and shadow enhance the overall sense of authenticity and bucolic beauty.
Van Severdonck's ability to capture the essence of pastoral existence and his evident affection for his subjects are evident in this work. His paintings, though often modest in dimensions, are celebrated and coveted by collectors worldwide for their exquisite detail and the tranquil atmosphere they encapsulate.

- Shepherd with Sheep, Cows and a Goat in a Landscape by Jan Frans SoolmakerLocated in Stockholm, SEThis painting depicts a pastoral scene that is attributed to the artist Jan Frans Soolmaker, an artist known for his Italianate landscapes and scenes that often feature equestrian and Arcadian elements. The painting is not signed but is attributed to Soolmaker, relating it to a known signed work by the artist that was sold at Sotheby’s London in 1999. The scene is suffused with the warm glow of a setting or rising sun, casting a soft light that is characteristic of Soolmaker’s landscapes. It shows a shepherd guiding a group of cattle across a shallow stream, with the animals taking center stage in the composition. The animals are rendered with careful attention to their forms and the play of light on their bodies, which is a hallmark of Soolmaker's work. The landscape is composed of a rocky terrain with trees and shrubbery, creating a sense of depth and natural beauty that invites the viewer to explore the scene further. The background suggests a vast, open landscape with distant mountains, which adds to the Italianate feel of the painting. The sky is dramatic, with clouds catching the light of the sun, contributing to the overall serene yet dynamic atmosphere of the work. The provenance of the painting is notable, having been in the possession of significant historical figures such as Swedish Prince Fredrik Adolf, and later The collection of Pär Ulmgren, The collection of Gösta Stenman, and Engineer and politician Gustaf Henry Hansson. Potential buyers have the option of choosing between a newly made gold frame or an older brown frame, which allows for personalization in how the work is presented. Soolmaker’s work is often compared to that of Dutch painter Nicolaes Berchem, whose style he emulated. Soolmaker's landscapes reflect a similar sensitivity to light and composition, making his works sought after for their beauty and historical significance. Despite the smaller body of work left by Soolmaker, due to his short career, his paintings are valued for their craftsmanship and the legacy of the artist’s brief but impactful contribution to the Dutch Italianate landscape genre.
