Pierre (Henri Théodore) Tetar van Elven, Dutch 1828-1908- A North European cathedral city; watercolour heightened with white on paper, signed 'P. Tetar v. Elven' (lower right), 36.5 x 47 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Born in Molenbeek (Brussels), Tetar van Elven was the son and pupil of the Dutch painter and print-maker Jean-Baptist Tetar van Elven (1805-1889). In 1846 he moved to Holland to pursue his studies at the Academy of Art in Amsterdam and the Academy of Drawings in The Hague. After then spending time in Paris, he moved to Rome in 1858 and enjoyed successes as a painter at the Court of Victor Emmanuel II. By the time Tetar van Elven began to practice topographical painting he had already become popular among European artists and their patrons. The vogue for topography was inspired by Rousseau's call for a return to nature, technical developments in watercolour - the highly portable medium most commonly used by topographical painters - and an increased appreciation for the beauty of the European landscape.品相报告: Please refer to department for condition report
