AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gerard van Lerven is the brother of N.H. van Lerven. He lived and worked in Arnhem and was a student at the applied arts school in Amsterdam under the leadership of G. Sturm. He painted, drew, and etched landscapes and village scenes (city districts), among others in the Betuwe, Corsica, South France, and Paris. He also painted flower still lifes and a single portrait. From 1914 to 1951, van Lerven was director of the 'Kunstoefening' Academy in Arnhem.
This flower still life depicts a compact bouquet of roses in deep red and warm yellow tones, placed in a subtle vase against a dark, almost black background. The thick, impasto brushstrokes give the flowers a rich texture and a tangible, almost sculptural quality. The light seems to be captured in the upper flower clusters, causing them to glow out of the darkness and creating a dramatic tension between color and shadow. The overall atmosphere exudes a powerful, intimate mood, showcasing Van Lerven's mastery of light, dark, and material convincingly.
Dimensions with frame: 62 x 51 cm
Dimensions without frame: 59 x 49 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.
