Winter Moonlight - Signed Landscape Oil Painting by Max Clarenbach

c.1930

About the Item

Signed oil on canvas landscape circa 1930 by German post impressionist painter Max Clarenbach. The work depicts a winter scene, with snow laying thick on the ground. To the foreground there is a bare tree and the ground is illuminated yellow by the light of the moon. Signature: Signed lower left Dimensions: Framed: 31"x35" Unframed: 24"x28" Provenance: The estate of the painter A pupil at the Düsseldorf academy, where he later became a professor, Clarenbach often painted nature in winter. His work featured in collective thematic exhibitions, including An Earthly Paradise: the Volmer Collection ( Das Irdische Paradies. Sammlung Volmer), 2003, an exhibition about the Düsseldorf School between 1819 and 1918, at the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal. Born in poor circumstances, Max Clarenbach became a full orphan at the age of 12 years. He was primarily a landscape painter influenced by the French Impressionists, who later studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, where he later taught from 1917-45. Between 1923-30, he was concerned with theater and sports scenes. Nevertheless, he especially concentrated on winter motifs and also on the atmospheric observation of the other seasons. While the landscape of the Lower Rhine was initially the center of his work, he later painted in the Westerwald, Bergisch Land, the Ruhr Valley, and frequently from 1912 in the Sauerland.

In 1907, at the age of eighteen, he left his hometown Strasbourg and traveled to Paris, where he found employment in a large drafting company to work as a fashion illustrator.

Pluie a Venice (Venice in the Rain)
By André Hambourg
Located in Costa Mesa, CA
Pluie a Venice is painted in Hambourg's preferred palette of muted blue-green, grey, and gold with splashes of ruby red, deep blue, and emerald green. The soft colors work well for beach scenes and rainy days such as the ones portrayed in this painting. The impressionistic scene shows multiple pedestrians strolling down the boardwalk, shielding themselves from the rain with colorful umbrellas that provide pops of color and balance the overcast sky. The background contains a three-masted ship and Piazza San Marco's famous bell tower and Basilica. Hambourg uses the minimum number of brushstrokes necessary to portray ships, seagulls, buildings and people as well as reflections on the glistening sidewalk. The brushstrokes in the sky have an interesting texture that is controlled yet carefree and there is heavy impasto throughout. His portrayal is both realistic and romanticized. Hambourg was clearly influenced by the great Impressionist artists of earlier generations, perhaps none more than the one with a direct connection to his family. Hambourg's wife, Nicole Rachet, was born into a family with a large collection of works by Impressionist master Eugene Boudin. Rachet's grandfather was a contemporary and friend of Boudin's, and a collector of his work. In their later years, Hambourg and Rachet donated over 300 canvases by Boudin and other artists to the Eugene Boudin Museum in Honfleur, France. It was such a large and important gift that the collection bears...
