Frederik Marinus Kruseman

Haarlem 1816-1882 Sint-Gillis (Brussel)

Winter landscape with skaters and a 'Koek-en-Zopie'

Provenance: kunsthandel Frost & Reed, Londen (vanaf 1908 in Londen); kunsthandel E. Stacy-Marks, Eastbourne, Groot-Brittannië; veiling Sotheby's, London, 20 maart 1985, lotnr. 23; kunsthandel MacConnal-Mason, Londen. With Willow Gallery, London. Private collection, UK (acquired from the above).

Literature: Marjan van Heteren, Jan de Meere, 'Fredrik Marinus Kruseman 1816-1882. Painter of Pleasing Landscapes', Schiedam, 1998, pag. 201, cat.nr. 225 (met afb.).

Kruseman learned from B.C. Koekkoek how to compose a romantic landscape. Having been trained by N.J. Roosenboom and Jan van Ravenswaaij, Kruseman went to Kleve, Germany, in 1837 to perfect the art of painting under B.C. Koekkoek. A frozen canal with skaters, walkers on a towpath, a small picturesque castle and jagged bare trees are all recurring motifs in Kruseman’s winter scenes. He also painted dreamy summer landscapes with finely elaborated trees and populated with cattle and a few simple hunters and peasants.
