About the Item
Bernard Pothast (1882-1966)
Although born in Belgium in 1882, Bernard Pothast was the son of a well-known Dutch portrait painter. In his youth Bernard was encouraged to visit his father’s workshop where he learnt all the technical points of production. After he had finished school his father sent him to study the work of the Dutch Masters in museums and galleries. Eventually Bernard became a pupil at the Amsterdam Rijksakademie between 1904-1907, and was so successful he was awarded the Royal Bursary for study abroad, he chose Paris and spent a year at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Although successful in Paris he soon began to miss the atmosphere of Holland and returned to the circle of artists who were taking up the mantle of The Dutch Masters.
The characters in Pothast’s paintings are imbued with virtue and a gentle strength. Bernard Pothast's poignant paintings of peasant life gained popularity during his lifetime and remain popular today. This signed oil on canvas shows Pothast’s great skill in capturing warm light built up in thick layers of impasto paint.

Bernard Pothast
Born in Belgium, Bernard Pothast traveled to Paris to attend the "École des Beaux Arts". There he studied under the artist Gabriel Ferrier. He also studied at the School of Reichsakad and later in Amsterdam under the artist Jules Alby. Bernard Pothast enjoyed a successful career as a genre painter. His favorite subject was the peasant family. European painters of peasants in the nineteenth century found themselves heirs to the inheritance of idyllic literature, which set up certain stereotypes of rustic life. Pothast's images depicted peasant mothers instructing or caring for their young children, placed in rustic interiors sparingly decorated with the family's humble possessions. Their interiors were typically illuminated by the light of early or midday sunshine. These renderings charmed the newly rich industrial merchant, now living and working in urban surroundings, yet craving for the simplicity of country life. Pothast's sentimental illustrations of peasant life were very popular during his lifetime, and remain so today.
