Jan Van Couver
View of a Dutch Town by Jan van Couver (Hermanus Koekkoek Jr.) Impressionism

Late 19th Century

About the Item

Hermanus Koekkoek the Younger was a member of the renowned Koekkoek artist family. He was the grandson of Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek, the nephew of the landscape painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, and the son of Hermanus Koekkoek the Elder. Following in his family's artistic footsteps, his son, Stephen Robert Koekkoek, also pursued a career as a painter. Hermanus, along with his brothers Willem, Johannes Hermanus Barend, and Hendrik Barend, received his initial art lessons from his father, who had recently settled in Amsterdam. During the 1860s, Hermanus began making regular visits to London and eventually decided to settle there in 1869. It was during this time that he adopted the pseudonym "Jan van Couver" when selling his works in London. The painting we are selling belongs to this period. It showcases Hermanus' talent for capturing landscape views with an impressionistic touch. The brushstrokes are spontaneous and confident, while the composition is skillfully constructed using a thick layer of impasto, lending it a sense of three-dimensionality. Hermanus drew inspiration from the Hague School, particularly in his portrayal of dramatic elements such as the clouds. oil on canvas signed JvanCouver canvas dimensions 10.82 x 14.76 inches (27.5 x 37.5 cm) frame 16.92 x 20.86 inches (43 x 53 cm) Provenance: Art dealer Rudolph Ackermann, London (Old label on the back); A Swedish private collection
