*LOUIS PIERRE VERWÉE (Kortrijk 1807–1877 Schaerbeek) Amusements on the ice. 1851. Oil on panel. Signed and dated lower left: Louis Verwee f. 1851. 74.5 × 99.5 cm. Provenance: European private collection. The present winter landscape with its busy narrative quality by the painter Louis Pierre Verwée, is a typical work of the Dutch Romantic period and captivates the viewer with its distinctive atmospheric representation of the landscape and use of a rich colour palette of grey and light blue tones. Well-chosen details serve to enliven the composition and invite us to linger. Fully in the tradition of the Dutch genre of winter landscapes and "Eisvergnügen" (figures skating or enjoying the ice) this work refers to the little ice age which prevailed in Europe towards the end of the 16th century until around 1885 and was taken up and employed to great effect as a leitmotif by numerous painters in the 19th century, such as Andreas Schelfhout (1787–1870) and Barend Cornelis Koekkoek (1803–1862). Verwée first studied at the art academy in his hometown under Jean-Baptiste de Jonghe (1785–1844). He then studied in Geneva at the studio of the well-known animal painter Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven (1799–1881), with whom he was to have a lifelong friendship. He returned from his numerous trips abroad armed with a great variety of impressions which had an impact on his artistic work. LOUIS PIERRE VERWÉE (Kortrijk 1807–1877 Schaerbeek) Eisvergnügen. 1851. Öl auf Holz. Unten links signiert und datiert: Louis Verwee f. 1851. 74,5 × 99,5 cm. Provenienz: Europäischer Privatbesitz. Die vorliegende vielfigurige und anekdotische Winterlandschaft des Malers Louis Pierre Verwée, stellt eine charakteristische Arbeit der holländischen Romantik dar, und besticht mit ihrer ausgeprägten atmosphärischen Wiedergabe der Landschaft und dem Einsatz einer kräftigen Farbpalette von Grau- und hellen Blautönen. Wohl gewählte Details beleben die Komposition und laden zum Verweilen ein. Ganz in der Tradition der holländischen Gattung der Winterlandschaften und sogenannten "Eisvergnügen" lässt sich Bezug auf die kleine Eiszeit nehmen, die gegen Ende des 16. Jahrhundert bis um 1885 in Europa herrschte, und von zahlreichen Künstlern, wie Andreas Schelfhout (1787–1870) und Barend Cornelis Koekkoek (1803–1862), als Leitmotiv in der Malerei des 19. Jahrhunderts aufgegriffen und eindrucksvoll umgesetzt wurde. Unter Jean-Baptiste de Jonghe (1785–1844) lernte Verwée zunächst an der Kunstakademie seiner Heimatstadt. Anschliessend studierte er im Atelier des bekannten Tiermalers Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven (1799–1881) in Genf, mit dem ihn eine lebenslange Freundschaft verbinden sollte. Von seinen zahlreichen Reisen ins Ausland kehrte er mit vielfältigen Eindrücken zurück, die mit Nachdruck auf sein künstlerisches Schaffen wirkten.
