Oil painting Havengezicht by Jack Aué (1895–1970), original edition from 1930–1940, Netherlands origin, hand-signed, 38 × 56 cm framed.
Description from the seller
Jack Aué (1895–1970) was a Dutch painter and draftsman best known for his atmospheric landscapes, village scenes, and characteristic impressions of the Dutch countryside. His work demonstrates a strong connection to nature and a fondness for simple, rural motifs, which he captured in a calm, balanced style. Aué worked extensively in oil paint and watercolor, developing a personal visual language that focused on light, atmosphere, and composition.
In this lively harbor view, Aué brings to life a dynamic impression of ships at the water's edge with quick, broad brushstrokes. The playful touch and fresh color contrasts give the scene a spontaneous, almost impressionistic appearance. The trees and buildings in the background are suggested with loose strokes, focusing on the light movement of water, air, and ships. The work exudes a summery, open atmosphere and demonstrates Aué’s ability to capture mood, depth, and activity in the landscape with minimal means.
Dimensions with frame: 38 x 56 cm
Dimensions without frame: 23 x 40 cm
The work is available for viewing at our gallery. Furthermore, Art Dumay has a framing shop (celebrating their 85th anniversary this year) and a restoration studio. If you wish to make use of these services, we would be happy to hear from you.
