About the Item
Please note: This painting will ship from the artists' studio in the Netherlands.
Yvonne Melchers' "Val Cortese (Tuscan Summer)" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts rolling hills of a vineyard planted with neat rows of crops and a narrow lane that leads to a Tuscan Villa in the background.
Artist Yvonne Melchers showcases her mastery of light and form in her sumptuously detailed paintings of subjects both intimate and universal. Whether painting a scene from her beloved North Sea Shore, the portrait of a strong but vulnerable young man dressed for the historical Siena Palio round, or the rumpled sheets and textures of a Venice hotel room, Melchers infuses each with a glow that speaks of the real and the ethereal. Precise technical skills join a rich historical palette and striking compositions in paintings that leave an indelible impression. (2019, Alessandro Tomassetti, artist)
Yvonne Melchers (born in Haarlem, The Netherlands) studied at the Rietveld Art Academy in Amsterdam, but had to leave after only one year on account of too many other obligations. She always continued to draw and paint next to her work at the Academic Hospital in Amsterdam. In 2009 she could quit her job and from then on she has painted full-time. Apart from the one year at the Art Academy and some short courses she is self-taught. Her work is realistic-figurative, with a strong preference for oil paint. Generally using the paint straight from the tube and using mostly bristle brushes she has developed her own impasto technique where the brush strokes are clearly visible. For all of her work in oil she uses a very limited palette, the “colours of Monet”, which are five colours besides the whites.

Yvonne Melchers
Dutch painter Yvonne Melchers, born in 1948, works from Amsterdam creating figurative oil paintings that explore themes of place, identity, and historical connection. Her artistic output organizes into distinct series: coastal views of the Dutch North Sea, Italian geographic and urban subjects, portrait studies of modern Italian men and boys wearing historical Siena Palio ceremonial dress, and architectural interior compositions titled Rooms with a View. Melchers supplements these primary works with still life paintings of botanical and fruit subjects, along with commissioned portraiture. Her technical approach emphasizes color relationships developed through Claude Monet's constrained palette methodology, producing vibrant results within deliberate limitations. International exhibitions include venues in Italy, Spain, and the United States, with concentrated activity in Dutch cultural institutions, galleries, and art fairs, particularly Museum Møhlmann. She is represented by select galleries across the United States including Abend Gallery. Her paintings reside in collections worldwide, including institutional holdings at Academic Medical Center Amsterdam.
