Description from the seller
Van Olsen - Flemish/Dutch River Landscape with Fishermen - Oil on Copper - With Frame
Elegant signed painting by Van Olsen, depicting a tranquil river scene with fishermen in a boat, trees, a church and several sailing boats in the background.
The work, with great charm, evokes the tradition of Flemish and Dutch landscapes: calm atmosphere, harmonious composition, meticulous details and a luminous, very decorative rendering of colors. The scene is built with a pleasing balance between water, sky, architecture and figures, creating a refined image that is very pleasant to display.
The painting is signed at the bottom left "Van Olsen".
The work is executed on a rigid support, most likely oil on copper, a technique valued for the brightness of the surface, chromatic depth and the glossy rendering of colors. The tones are still vivid and pleasing, enriched by a beautiful patina of time and a light natural craquelure, which give the whole additional antique charm.
The frame is a gilded, profiled frame, either period or well matched to the work, which greatly enhances the scene.
Overall dimensions with frame: about 37 x 27 cm. Canvas/panel dimensions: 21 x 12 cm.
General condition good: the painting presents well, with bright colors and good legibility of the scene. The frame shows light, normal signs of time, small wear and flaws compatible with its age, as visible in the photos.
A decorative piece of great charm, ideal for collectors of Flemish/Dutch landscape taste, for classical interior design, study, living room or refined spaces.
Careful and protected shipping.
