Louis Douzette was a prominent German landscape painter whose artistic practice bridged late Romanticism and early Naturalism. He became especially known for his evocative nocturnal scenes illuminated by moonlight, a recurring subject that defined his mature style. These works reveal a fascination with the interplay of night sky, reflected water, and atmospheric tone. Often described as lyrical or meditative, they draw the viewer into a quiet world of natural reflection and stillness. Douzette’s early training in Berlin under the marine painter Hermann Eschke grounded him in Romantic landscape traditions, but he soon developed his own voice. He found deep inspiration in the moonlit river scenes of Dutch Golden Age painters such as Aert van der Neer and Jacob van Ruisdael. His commitment to nocturnes emerged in the 1860s, a theme he returned to with increasing focus throughout his career. By the late 1870s, exposure to the Barbizon School and plein-air techniques enriched his approach, infusing his nightscapes with greater realism and atmospheric complexity. This synthesis of romantic mood and naturalist observation defines much of his later output. The present work, Moonlit Landscape with Rowboat, captures the artist’s refined handling of tone and light on an unusually intimate scale. Measuring just over 13 by 17 centimetres, the panel presents a tranquil night scene in exquisite detail. A full moon, partially veiled by drifting clouds, casts its reflection over the surface of a river. The silver light falls across the water in rhythmic bands, leading the eye toward a gently moored rowboat. A wooded shoreline flanks the composition on the right, while the distant horizon reveals faint silhouettes of trees beneath a softly glowing sky. Despite the painting’s modest format, it conveys a remarkable sense of depth and atmosphere. The sky is built with expressive, layered brushwork that suggests subtle variations in cloud density and moonlight diffusion. The reflective water is handled with delicacy, echoing the sky’s luminosity in more muted, rippling form. Dark foliage anchors the composition without overpowering it, creating a gentle contrast that enhances the nocturnal glow. The rowboat, placed with quiet purpose, introduces a human element without breaking the silence of the scene. Douzette’s contribution to 19th-century German painting...

Margaret Maitland Howard was an accomplished and versatile English artist whose works spanned the early to mid-20th century. Known for her evocative and often mythologically inspired oil paintings, Howard’s work reflects a deep engagement with classical themes and her knowledge of nature, and the human form. She was also proficient working in watercolours and pastels and an accomplished sculptor. Margaret, who was always known as “Marjorie” was born in Friern, Barnet, London on 31 July 1898, the daughter of artist and civil servant Henry James Howard. She grew up at Sutton, Surrey, where she spent most of her life. She spent many years living and working from St. Katherine’s, Malgrave Road, Sutton, Surrey. She was educated privately, at the Byam Shaw and then attended the Vicat Cole School of Art, completing her studies at the Royal Academy Schools, where she won five silver medals and other awards. She was also the recipient of a British Institute scholarship and extension and won the 1926 prize for her portrait work at the National Welsh Eisteddfod in Swansea. She exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy, showing at least ten works of classical and biblical themes at Summer Exhibitions between 1923 and 1935. She was one of the early group of women who painted nudes, a practice which was considered somewhat risqué and vulgar in the early twentieth century. She also exhibited at other leading galleries and in the provinces and consistently pursued her art despite the challenges posed by the societal norms of the time. Howard had a significant professional career for a woman of her generation. Just after World War II she was appointed draughtsman to the Institute of Archaeology at London University where she worked from 1948 to 1960. This is now part of University College, London. Here, she worked as an illustrator and sculptor, creating models for Professor Frederick Zeuner to use in his lectures. She also illustrated one of his important books (Zeuner, F.E. Dating the Past, London: Methuen). She also created the bust of Gordon Childe, now in the Institute’s Library. After her retirement from the Institute of Archaeology she collaborated with Ian Wolfran Cornwall on his series of books about the prehistoric world. In 1956, whilst working for the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, she moved to Balawat and supervised the archaeological work at the site of an ancient Assyrian city in northern Mesopotamia. She subsequently prepared drawings of the Balawat Gates, which was significant and technical work. In addition to illustrating various books on ancient history and anthropology, Howard was also known as an illustrator of fictional books, producing an illustrated edition of the Fables of Aesop that was published by John Lane at The Bodley Head in 1926. She also illustrated Elizabeth Ward...
