Boothuis, a 1924 oil on canvas landscape by Verner Thomé (Finland), hand-signed, original edition, sold with frame, measuring 51 cm high by 59 cm wide.
Description from the seller
Verner Thomé was an influential Finnish modernist and an important representative of colorism. After his education in Helsinki, he traveled through Europe, where his stays in Munich and Paris greatly influenced his use of color and style. His breakthrough came at the Septem exhibitions, where he stood out for his expressive colors and innovative landscapes.
The painting depicts a red wooden boathouse on a Finnish waterside, painted in Thomé’s characteristic coloristic style. With loose, broad brushstrokes and expressive colors, he depicts rowboats, the shoreline, and reflections in the water. The work captures the bright light and atmosphere of the Finnish landscape, where color and light are more important than exact naturalistic representation. The result is a lively, modernist scene that well represents Thomé’s mature style.
Dimensions with frame: 51 x 59 cm
Dimensions without frame: 36 x 44 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. Additionally, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we collaborate with restorers from the professional organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you wish to make use of this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
