Oene Romkes de Jongh Paintings in GeocodedArt

A view of Amsterdam

Painting by Oene Romkes de Jongh (1812-1896). A prolific painter of town scenes in Amsterdam, most often without the specific location included in the title of the work.  His many works are curiously monochromatic: brownish buildings against a drab sky.  Somehow they did not possess the charm and vitality for him that they did for the great originators of the Dutch tradition of painting cityscapes.

Pieter Gerard Vertin paintings in Geocoded Art

View of the Marekerk, Leiden

Painting by Pieter Gerard Vertin (1819-1893).  This artist produced many works that highlighted the typical architecture of Dutch cities and towns, usually in a style did not add much drama to the scene.  They were not images that you would remark that they captured a particularly beautiful day, and he did more wintry and snowy scenes than most vedute painters.

A Ferry Boat near Arnheim

Painting by Salomon van Ruysdael (1629-1681). One of a distinguished family of painters, his prolific work is almost exclusively landscapes, most featuring the great billowing clouds that sweep across the dead flat Low Countries.  A minority of the titles of the works identify the location specifically, and in the image any landmark is to be found in a distant steeple which acts as something of a pin market on the land.  The exception to this painting of "general river scene" is the great works of the unmistakable Valkhof at Nijmegen.
