Description

NICHOLAES BERCHEM (attr): an interesting and somewhat speculative OIL PAINTING ON PANEL, of a typical Continental bucolic scene. Beautifully painted very much in the 17th/18th century style, this fine painting depicts cattle and sheep watering in a stream, being attended by a mounted rider, and a lady washing herself, accompanied by her dog, with further figures and a horse and cart on the path to one side. All this takes place in front of a walled town, with the church and its steeple clearly visible, with mountains further behind in the distance. To the back of the wooden panel is a part label stating this is by Nicholaes Berghem of Haarlem (?) and dated 1654. In excellent condition, it measures 23 x 27.5 ins (58.5 x 70cms) including the excellent original gilded frame.

** NICHOLAES BERCHEM (1620-1683) was a prolific and highly regarded Dutch painter of “Italianate” pastoral scenes. His landscapes, of which he produced a great number, were painted in the Italian style ~ he travelled to Italy to soak up the “romanticism” of that country, and brought back home sketchbooks full of drawings of classical ruins and pastoral imagery. He was born in Haarlem; lived and worked in Amsterdam; moved back to Haarlem in 1670, and finally returned to Amsterdam where in died in 1683.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, and periodically having the surface professionally cleaned by a conservator to remove accumulated soot and dust.

Placing a historical artwork within a contemporary space creates a striking focal point, particularly when contrasted against minimalist walls or paired with sleek, modern furnishings to highlight its rich textures and deep tones.

Authenticity is evaluated through microscopic examination of the wood panel grain, natural pigment aging, craquelure patterns in the oil layer, and construction techniques evident on the reverse of the panel and frame.

These works were commonly executed in oil paint applied to prepared wooden panels, such as oak, and housed in heavy, hand-carved, and gilded wooden frames finished with gesso and leaf.

Seventeenth-century Dutch landscape paintings typically focus on naturalistic depictions of local scenery, low horizons emphasizing dramatic cloud formations, and atmospheric lighting that captures the specific weather and mood of the region.
