Johannes Christiaan Klinkenberg
Dutch (1852-1924), O/B, 7.6” (H) x 5.6” (W), Signed Verso

This is a fantastic landscape of a woman on a sunlit, forest path overseeing a river. Johannes Christiaan Klinkenberg was a member of the Hague School who is a very well listed Dutch painter, famous for his sunlit city and landscape scenes The Hague School is the name given to a group of painters who lived and worked in The Hague between the years 1860 and 1890. They rejected the traditional views that dominated the art academies of the day. Instead of idealising their subjects they tried to imbue their paintings with a more realistic representation of what they saw. These painters admired the work of the artists of the Barbizon School. Like these French painters they preferred to work out in the open air: the main aspect that they tried to capture was the light and the atmosphere of the landscape. Many of Klinkenberg’s paintings have brought more than $100,000 at auction.
