NO RESERVE

Joannes Josephus van Mulken (Kampen, June 29, 1796 – The Hague, October 21, 1879) was a Dutch military officer and statesman, and a Thorbeckian Member of the House of Representatives.

He became a liberal Member of Parliament at the age of 65. From the Council of State, he was appointed Minister of War in the Van Bosse-Fock cabinet. Mulken was respected as an officer but was strongly criticized as a minister for the poor conduct of mobilization following the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. After his tenure as minister, he again became a member of the Council of State.

Van Mulken was also a meritorious landscape painter. Thorbecke called him 'the art-loving general'.

Representation: Romantic landscape with farmhouses, shepherds, and livestock.

With great attention to tree sections, light, vistas, and small figures and animals, he showcases the beauty and grandeur of nature, and thereby the creation.
