About the Item
Louis Smets
Dutch, (act. 1852-1896)
A Winter’s Day
Oil on canvas, signed
Image size: 23.5 inches x 32.5 inches
Size including frame: 30.5 inches x 39.5 inches
This winter landscape painting by Louis Smets is of figures skating on frozen river next to a town. The architecture suggests the location could be Belgium where the artist is known to have visited.
Louis Smets or Smits was a Dutch painter who was probably born in the Netherlands sometime during the 1830’s. However, some sources suggest he also had strong connections to Antwerp in Belgium. He became popular for his animated winter landscapes, often featuring figures near frozen lakes and waterways. Many of his works include the distinctive rural Dutch farmhouses and buildings of the time.
Although little is known about his life, his work demonstrates his artistic ability and it is highly likely he was tutored by a painting master. He took his influences from Dutch artists such as Nicholas Johannes Roosenboom (1805-1880) and Frederick Marinus Kreuseman (1816-1882).
Smets was known to work around the Polder area of Holland as well as Belgium. He was active from around 1852 until 1896 which was probably around the time of his death.
Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

A beautifully painted marine scene of a boat being launched from a Dutch shore by Pieter Cornelis Dommersen. In the foreground, fishermen can be seen heaving a boat into the water as others look on.

Pieter Cornelis Dommersen was born Pieter Cornelis Dommershuizen or Dommerhershuisen on 6 December, 1833 in Utrecht, Holland.

Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1863
Image size: 26 inches x 36.5 inches
Size including frame: 35.25 inches x 45.75 inches
A wonderful continental townscape scene of a bustling harbour by Ludwig Hermann. The Medieval architecture is reminiscent of North Germany and the Baltic sea area with its busy trading ports. Figures can be seen chatting to traders as ships sail around the harbour.
Ludwig Hermann or Herman was born Elias Ludwig Julius Herrmann at Greifswald, Germany in 1812 to Wilhelm and Sophie Herrmann. Although little is recorded about his early life and education, he is known to have left his home in 1831 at the age of 19, to pursue an artistic career in Berlin. There he entered the Prussian Academy of Arts where he studied under Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850).
Hermann started exhibiting at the Berlin Academy exhibitions in 1836. A year later in 1837, he travelled to Paris to study under Eugène Isabey (1803-1886) and Eugène Lepoittevin (1806-1870). By 1841 he had returned to Berlin where he married Caroline Wilhelmine ‘Auguste’ Dupont on 16 October, 1841. From his base in Berlin he travelled around Europe painting views of France...
