Johann Bernhard Klombeck war einer der führenden Vertreter der Klever Romantik, die ihre entscheidenden Impulse durch Barend Cornelis Koekkoek empfing. Koekkoek war seit 1834 in Kleve ansässig war und richtete dort 1841 eine Kunstakademie ein. Einer der ersten Schüler war der in Kleve geborene Johann Bernhard Klombeck, der die Akademie später selbst leitete.
In unserer großformatigen Landschaft evoziert Klombeck überzeugend die Atmosphäre eines klirrend kalten Wintertages. Das gedämpfte Licht, der in feinen Farbnuancen gemalte Schnee, der zugefrorene Bach und die kahlen, leicht vom Schnee bedeckten Bäume fügen sich zu einer romantischen Winterlandschaft zusammen, die durch Staffagefiguren, darunter mehrere Reisigsammler, belebt wird.
Wie sein Lehrer B. C. Koekkoek bezog Klombeck sein Motivrepertoire vornehmlich aus seiner niederrheinischen Heimat. Der zwischen Goch, Kleve und Kranenburg gelegene Reichswald ist das größte zusammenhängende Waldgebiet des Niederrheins.

Exhib. cat.: „Johann Bernhard Klombeck 1815-1893. Ein Landschaftsmaler der Klever Romantik“, Kleve, Städtisches Museum Haus Koekkoek 10.10.-5.12.1993, Kleve 1993, p. 80, no. 58/93 (with a b/w illus.).
Johann Bernhard Klombeck was one of the leading representatives of the Cleves school of Romanticism, which was heavily inspired by the works of Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. Koekkoek was active in Cleves as of 1834 and founded an art academy there in 1841. One of his first pupils was the Cleves born artist Johann Bernhard Klombeck, who later took over the academy.
In this large-format landscape work, Klombeck convincingly evokes the atmosphere of a crisp winter's day. The subdued lighting, finely shaded snow, frozen stream and the leafless, snow-dusted branches of the trees combine to form a romantic winter landscape enlived by various figures, such as peasants collecting firewood.
Like his teacher Koekkoek, Klombeck's motifs were mainly derived from his homeland in the lower Rhine Region. The Reichswald forest, located between Goch, Cleves and Kranenburg, is the largest wooded area in this region.
