EVERSEN, ADRIANUS
1818 Amsterdam - 1897 Delft
Title: Little Dutch Town at the River.
Technique: Oil on canvas.
Mounting: Laid on fibreboard.
Measurement: 37.5 x 55.5cm.
Notation: Monogrammed lower right: A.E.
Frame: Framed.
The Dutch veduta painter Adrianus Eversen was born in Amsterdam in 1818 and studied with the architecture and veduta painters Cornelis de Kruyff and Cornelis Springer. As with his fellow painter Willem Koekkoek, who was ten years younger, Springer's influence is particularly noticeable in the paintings, which are rich in detail and atmospheric with their warm colours. In contrast to their realist cityscapes Everson, however, creates compositionally idealised scenes with harmoniously matching colours and skillful play of light. As a result, architecture and landscape are in balanced harmony.
The city view shown here represents precisely this form of composition which is characteristic of Eversen. The left front area of the picture appears almost illuminated and is thus the first to come into focus. The buildings and ships that are behind are kept darker and serve the building up of tension as pendant to the bright city and to the sky in the background. The effect of the warm colour palette as well as the play with light generate an almost idyllic atmosphere from which the spectator cannot withdraw.
