Arnoldus Johannes Eymer
(Amsterdam 1803 - Haarlem 1863)
Travellers in a Mountainous Landscape
Signed lower right
Oil on board, 27.4 x 22.8 cm
Provenance:
- Auction Sotheby's, Amsterdam, 15 March 2004, lot 84
- Private collection, the Netherlands
Note:
For this present work Eymer might have turned to B.C. Koekkoek for inspiration. The soft golden light and the inclusion of travellers in a romantic landscape suggest Eymers admiration for B.C. Koekkoek, who in his turn was inspired by the Dutch Italianate painters of the seventeenth century, collectively known as the Bamboccianti, especially Pieter van Laer and Jan Both.
