Unique Authentic Oil Painting: A Document of its Time of Dutch City Life in Rotterdam around 1900 by Adriaan la Riviere Title: Market Scene in Rotterdam Artist: Adriaan Philippus la Riviere (1857-1941) Technique: Oil on panel Dimensions (panel): 31.5 x 22 cm Dimensions (including frame): 45 x 35.5 cm Period: c. 1880-1920 (Flourishing Dutch Impressionism / Hague School) Condition: Very good, in original state Provenance: From a prominent private collection A Window into the Past; This beautiful oil painting on panel, by the renowned Dutch artist Adriaan la Riviere, offers a rare and atmospheric glimpse into daily life at a Dutch city market around the turn of the century (1900). The work is representative of the period between roughly 1880 and 1920, a time when Dutch Impressionism and the postglow of the Hague School reached their peak. Characteristics of an Era; La Riviere has created a lively and dynamic scene with his masterful, loose brushwork and eye for detail. The attention to the way light falls on clothing and the typical, bustling “busyness” of the market are characteristic of this period. The subject—the city’s “distinctive characters”—was enormously popular among collectors at the time. The historical details are also fascinating. The clothing of the figures, including the costume-like hats of the women and the caps of the men, date the scene to about 1890–1910. Also the stove on the foreground is a typical prop from that era, contributing to the work’s authenticity. In Excellent Condition; The painting is in wonderful condition and comes in a pristine Flippo frame. It is a valuable and decorative piece, perfect for collectors of Dutch art and for anyone who wants to add an authentic piece of history to their interior. About the Artist: Adriaan Philippus la Riviere (1857-1941) was a respected painter of lively genre scenes, cityscapes, and landscapes. After studying at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague and pursuing further studies in Munich, he settled in the Netherlands, where he produced his most celebrated works. His work is characterized by a realistic style, with a special focus on light, color, and the human figure in everyday settings. Artwork to be picked up in Veluwe, Gelderland, NL
