Adolphe Keller Art

Belgian, 1880-1968

Adolphe Keller was born in Brussels in 1880, and as a young boy showed a precocious talent for the arts. Keller was enrolled at the prestigious Brussels Academy, where, under the direction of Pieter-Jan Braecke, he was schooled in oil painting. The greatest influence on Keller came from his subsequent teacher at the Academy of Sint-Joost-ten-Node, Henri Ottevaere, who instilled within him a love of Impressionism. Upon graduating, Keller settled in the seaside town of Nieuport and established a studio. Keller was soon gaining a reputation as a painter and was beginning to exhibit his work at many of Belgium’s premier art institutions. Much of Keller’s work from this period consisted of landscapes and coastal views, although he did paint the occasional still-life and figurative piece. In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, Keller moved to southern France, settling in Saint Tropez. Keller was to reside here until 1946, and it is paintings from this period that are the most common. Keller rarely matched the intensity of his earlier paintings, the French scenes being rather more thinly painted and slightly more monochromatic. Returning eventually to Belgium, Keller bought a house in the Rouge-Cloitre area of Brussels and started painting mostly wooded scenes, views in the Foret de Soignes. By this time, Keller had turned his attention to teaching and was made President of the influential Cercle Alfred Bastien. After he died in 1968, several important retrospective exhibitions were mounted, including ones in 1974 and 1980 at the Centre Culturel d’Auderghem. Paintings by Keller are included in several public collections, including the museums of Ixelles and Auderghem in Belgium.

Impressionistic Summer Landscape with Road Painted 1889
Located in Stockholm, SE
Carl Johansson's "Summer Landscape with Road" is an exquisite landscape that encapsulates the serene beauty of the Swedish countryside. Painted in 1889, the same year Johansson showcased his work at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, one can't help but wonder if this very painting was among those displayed at the fair. "Summer Landscape with Road" offers a glimpse into the idyllic Swedish countryside through its masterful depiction. The scene is bathed in the distinctive light of the sun positioned at 30 degrees north-northwest, a unique aspect of Johansson's artworks. The viewer's eye is drawn along a winding dirt road that meanders through a tranquil pastoral landscape. Birch trees, with their white bark and tender green leaves, stand tall and sway gently, marking the passage toward a distant homestead nestled beside a calm lake. The rustic wooden fences and the clear sky, dotted with soft, billowing clouds, evoke a sense of peaceful solitude. Johansson's meticulous attention to detail and colour is evident in every brushstroke, from the lush greenery to the soft, earthy path leading to the horizon. The artist's signature use of light not only highlights the natural beauty of the North but also enhances the sense of depth and realism in the painting. Johansson's early works, such as this one, are exceedingly rare, making "Summer Landscape with Road" not only a visual delight but also a collector's gem. The painting's magnificent gold frame enhances the bright, vivid colours of the small-format artwork, creating an impactful presence. Carl Johansson's blue impressionistic depictions of Northern Sweden earned him the nickname "Ultramarine Johansson", and his paintings are celebrated in prestigious collections, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Kalmar Art Museum, and the municipality of Hudiksvall. oil on canvas signed and dated Carl Johansson . 89 . unframed 27 x 39 cm framed 41,5 x 53 cm Provenance: The previous owner bought it in 1988 at Åmells Stockholm...
