About the Item

Stephan Christian von Stengel (1750–1822) – River Landscape with a Castle Ruin and Sailing Boats This finely executed landscape drawing by Stephan Christian von Stengel, an enlightened statesman and gifted draughtsman from the circle of Ferdinand Kobell and Johann Georg von Dillis, shows a wide river valley with a castle ruin on a wooded hill and sailing boats gliding across the water. Drawn around 1810 in pen and brush with brown and grey washes, it is a charming example of German landscape drawing at the transition from late Classicism to Romanticism. Pen and brush in brown and black ink over pencil, with brown and grey wash, on paper, 17.5 x 22.7 cm (6 7/8 x 8 7/8 in) The Drawing A group of tall, densely foliated trees frames the composition on the right, their leaves rendered with lively, curling pen strokes and warm brown washes. Beyond them, a hill rises with the ruins of a castle, its towers silhouetted against a soft, cloudy sky. On the left, a steep rock face drops into the river, where a small sailing boat with two figures crosses in the middle ground and a second vessel lies further off. In the far distance, a town with towers appears on the opposite bank, beneath hazy mountains. A low bush in the foreground leads the eye into the scene. The subtle interplay of warm brown and cool grey washes creates depth and atmosphere, while the precise pen work defines the foliage, the rocks and the architecture. The motif of a river valley with a castle ruin, reminiscent of the Rhine, reflects the growing romantic enthusiasm for German river landscapes around 1800. The Artist Stephan Christian von Stengel was a leading figure of the Enlightenment in the Palatinate and Bavaria, a liberal expert in finance and economics. Alongside his public career he was an accomplished artist and a friend of the most important landscape painters of his time, among them Ferdinand Kobell and Johann Georg von Dillis, whose influence is evident in the clear composition and refined use of wash in the present sheet.

View of Castle of Vianen, Batestein, Dutch Golden Age, Schouman, Old Master Art

By Aert Schouman

Located in Greven, DE

Though he is most celebrated today for his extraordinary work as an artist of ornithological and zoological subject matters, Schouman was also a prolific documenter of landscape in his native Holland. The present drawing, which depicts a view of the Castel of Vianen, fits securely into a corpus of drawings Schouman produced on the same scale and in the same distinctive combination of media, examples of which are today housed in the collection of the Koninklijk Zeeuwsch Genootschap der Wetenschappen, Middelburg. Castle Batestein (also called Batenstein ) is a castle disappeared from the Netherlands . It was built on the banks of the Lek in the small town of Vianen, then in the province of South Holland (now in the province of Utrecht ). The castle was burned down in 1696 and then demolished. Remains only the Hofpoort (or castle gate...
