Jan Weissenbruch (1822-1880) - Riverlanschap

Jan Weissenbruch (1822–1880)
River Landscape at Dusk
Oil on panel, mid-19th century

A finely executed and atmospheric landscape attributed to Jan Weissenbruch, l'un des représentants éminents de l'École de La Haye. The painting depicts a calm and contemplative river scene at dusk, rendered with a subdued palette and a strong sensitivity to light and tonal values.

The composition reflects the artist’s characteristic interest in capturing the quiet poetry of the Dutch landscape. The contrast between the dark foreground and the softly illuminated water creates a sense of depth and tranquility. The brushwork remains libre mais maîtrisé, preserving the immediacy of the painter’s hand.

The work is signed and, according to consulted experts, the signature is consistent with the period of execution. The painting is executed in oil on panel and retains its authentic surface and original character.

A compelling example of 19th-century Dutch landscape painting, suitable for collectors of the Hague School and lovers of atmospheric, intimate compositions.
