Description
Alexander Joseph Daiwaille, 1818 – 1888
TREE LANDSCAPE WITH CASTLE AND FIGURAL STAFFAGE DURING AN APPROACHING STORM Oil on wood. 34 x 47.7 cm. Signed and dated "1848" lower left. The moving treetops indicate the approach of a storm. Between the groups of trees, a horseman and two figures are moving along a sandy path towards a distant castle. The composition and color scheme correspond to numerous examples of Daiwaille's work, who, as the son of a painter, traveled throughout the Netherlands and Germany and worked in Kleve together with his brother-in-law, the landscape artist Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. In 1839 he was honored at a Tentoonstelling - in 1847 in Amsterdam with a silver medal from the artists' cooperative Felix Meritis. Two of his works went to King William II of the Netherlands.
