19th-Century Dutch School, River Landscape With Inn & Windmill

c. 1870

About the Item

This fine mid-19th-century Dutch oil painting depicts a gentle view with a windmill, inn, horseback rider and figures. As the sun sets, illuminating the sky with a golden glow, a weary family dismounts to take rest and refreshments at a quaint rural inn. A figure, perhaps the landlady, greets them by a stable door. The exquisite rendering of this idyllic setting is steeped in the rich heritage of the low countries. Numerous Dutch artists in the 19th century looked back to the 17th century for inspiration - proud of their forebears and keen to maintain a sense of national identity. Large skies, winding rivers and flat expansive views were embedded in their DNA. It’s a little reminiscent of works by Jan Jacob Coenraad Spohler (1837-1894) and Hermanus Koekkoek (13 March 1815-1882). Held within a good later frame. Labels & Inscriptions: Label from John Campbell Master Framers. Provenance: Private collection, Germany.

    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.
