Description

An oil on canvas by Cornelius Leemputten depicting sheep with their shepherdess in the background.

The picture has a wonderfully calm atmosphere and the beautiful and very ornate frame serves it well.

Signed.

BIOGRAPHY

Cornelius Van Leemputten was born in Werchter as the son of Jan Frans Van Leemputten and Elisabeth Hopland. His father was originally a farmer but moved to Brussels in 1852 to become a painting restorer as he had an interest and some practice in art. Cornelius and his younger brother Frans Van Leemputten were encouraged by their father to practise art.

With the exception of a few lessons from his father, Cornelius was principally self-taught through the making of studies from nature in areas such as Brabant and the Campine region in north-eastern Belgium.[1] In 1855 the family briefly moved to Antwerp where Cornelius attended classes at the Antwerp Academy from 1855 to 1860.

Exhibitions

Van Leemputten participated in several international exhibitions and received gold medals in Ghent in 1883, Edinburgh in 1886, Port Adelaide in 1887 and in Berlin in 1896. He was awarded silver medals in Nice, Melbourne, Barcelona and Cologne. He was made a Knight of the Order of Leopold by the Belgian king in 1895.

Nineteenth-century pastoral art typically focuses on rural landscapes, farm animals, and agricultural scenes, capturing naturalistic light and quiet rural life.

Traditional pieces utilise woven linen or cotton canvas stretched over a wooden frame, painted with oil-based pigments and housed in gilded wood or compo frames.

Authenticity is assessed through craquelure in the paint surface, canvas oxidation on the reverse, artist signatures, and the construction methods of the stretcher bars and frame.

Classical artworks add depth and historical contrast when hung against neutral contemporary walls or placed above statement furniture pieces to create a focal point.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight and high humidity, keeping them away from heat sources, and occasionally cleaning dust with a soft, dry brush without using liquid solvents.
