IMPORTANT 19TH C. OIL ON CANVAS ALPINE SCENE PAINTING HAVING CHILDREN PLAYING NEAR RUSTIC CABINS WITH SNOW COVERED ALPS IN BACKGROUND SIGNED LOWER RIGHT JOS. JANSEN 1895, IN ORIGINAL WATER GOLD LEAF FRAME; THIS IS ONE OF JANSEN'S LARGEST WORKS EVER OFFERED; PROVENANCE AVAILABLE TO SUCCESSFUL BIDDER; CONTACT AUCTION HOUSE FOR HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS; 53"H X 72"W CANVAS, 63"H X 82"W OVERALL Joseph Jansen, who specialized in painting landscape views, gained great popularity for his idyllic images, which combined beauty of color and harmony of medium. He was born July 20, 1829 in Aachen, close to the Dutch Belgian border and died February 5, 1905 in Dusseldorf, where he had been based since the age of 17. Jansen had moved to Dusseldorf to study at the Akademie; he spent two years there and also attended the School of Schirmers. From the beginning Jansen began almost exclusively sketching German landscapes, traveling to the regions of the Rhine and Mosel, and was particularly fond of depicting mills. After many trips as a student he devoted himself principally to painting the uplands around Berne and the Bavarian Mountains, which gave him a rich source of inspiration for later work, even in his old age. He also portrayed a number of Swiss alpine landscapes such as this magnificent panorama. From 1850 he began exhibiting at various German galleries but from 1870 showed primarily at the Berlin Akademie and occasionally abroad such as at Vienna in 1872. Kaiser Wilhelm I acquired his large oil entitled “Oschinen-See” in 1880, while the Cincinnati Museum houses one of his works depicting a “View of the Jungfrau”. Jansen married one of his pupils, Luise, nee Seibke (1835-1912) who became an accomplished landscape artist and still-life painter. Their daughter Emilie, born in Dusseldorf, 1871 was also a still-life painter and with her mother carried on the family tradition of painting floral and fruit still-lifes. His works have been fetching higher numbers since 2012 where at Doretheum Auction in Vienna a work titled “view of Lucerne” sold for $25,835 USD for a record price. Recently at Sotheby’s Nov. 2017, a smaller work (49 ¼” x 42 1/8”) titled “Alpine Waters” hammered at $25,000 with premium, doubling their high estimate range of $8000-$12000 USD. This particular offering by Clements is unique in the fact that it is one of his larger works, and never, as far as we can ascertain, has been offered at auction. Clements Auction Gallery
