Artist Jolanda Richter

Jolanda Richter A Contemporary Dutch Painter, She was born in the Netherlands in 1971. Jolanda Richter and her family moved to Hamburg when she was three, and to Vienna when she was six, the city she considers her true home. Jolanda immediately learned she had a talent for drawing and singing. She enrolled in the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna at the age of seventeen, where she studied music in the cello class for five years.

Jolanda Richter had excellent sketching talents as a youngster, but as she grew older, music and endless rehearsals began to consume her attention, and she had to give up painting.

Jolanda Richter's desire to sketch, however, compelled her to enroll at the Faculty of Painting and Graphics at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna in 1994. She received her diploma in 1999.

Everyday reality in the modern world contains both contrasting and consistent characteristics. However, from the standpoint of modern art and painting, this is far from the reality. Jolanda Richter, an Austrian artist, paints in the style of modern metarealism to escape from everyday life.

Jolanda Richter has participated in several group exhibits and done several solo shows in Europe and the United States since 1993. The artist is presently working as a freelance artist near Vienna.

"I don't paint in response to fashion because it changes too quickly." My painting does not age since it is not impacted by the spirit of the times. "I want to affect a person's environment as well as his inner world."

"Young woman with a jug of water (1660-1662)" By The Dutch Artist Johannes Vermeer (Jan Vermeer)

 

Young woman with a jug of water (1660-1662)

Young Woman with a Jug of Water is a Baroque oil painting on canvas between 1660 and 1662 by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer (Jan Vermeer). The dimensions of the painting are 45.7x40.6 cm. It is currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This Painting is one of those that was painted in the early and mid-1660s, where the artist moved away from emphasis to axonometry and geometric order. He moved to simpler forms, using only one figure and emphasizing the use of light. The artist often depicted women doing some household chores, and in the same surroundings: a white wall, a map on it, a window, a table covered with a carpet. At the same time, the characters perform such simple actions as in the presented picture: a woman opens a window, holding a jug with her other hand. Scattered daylight pouring into the room softens facial features and contours of objects, fills with depth of paint.

As Van Gogh wrote, "... above everything is a marvelously blue sky and the sun, which streams the radiance of a light greenish-yellow color; it is soft and charming, like a combination of sky blue and yellow in a painting by Vermeer of Delft." Vermeer was attentive to detail: the jug reflects the blue drapery, and the surface of the basin is a carpet. The Czech writer Karel Capek spoke about the master’s paintings he saw: “... no one else could notice this clear, transparent light of Holland, as if washed with dew, this silence, bright dignity and intimate sanctity of the hearth, where it smells of iron, soap and femininity ".

The painting was purchased by the American collector Henry Gurdon Marquand in 1887 from the Paris Gallery for only $800, becoming the first of Jan Vermeer's works to be shown in US art collections. Marquand donated this masterpiece, along with others from his collection, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

"The Burgomaster of Delft and his daughter", 1655 - by artist Jan Steen 🇳🇱 ( c. 1626 - 1679)

"The Burgomaster of Delft and his daughter", 1655

This is a famous painting by Jan Steen (1626-1679) from the period when he lived in Delft.

 For a long time this picture was called "The Burgomaster of Delft and his daughter", but after careful research, the names of the seated man and girl were found.

 It is currently assumed that the man seated is the wealthy grain merchant Adolf Kroeser and the girl is his daughter Katharina.

 Both of them are standing in front of their house, while a woman with a child is begging.

 This theme will be repeated by the artist a few years later, when Steen finds himself in serious debt, due to the losses of his De Roskam brewery, and Adolf Kroeser comes to his aid.

 The scene of the picture takes place next to the same brewery, and behind we see the old Delft church.

 A portrait of Adolf and Katharina Kreser can be seen at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands.  The year of its writing is 1655.

Willem van Aelst (1626-1683) - Dutch Baroque painter, master of still life.

Artist Willem van Aelst 

Willem van Aelst's still lifes differ from those of his Dutch compatriots in the abundance of antique Renaissance trinkets. For the beautiful depiction of flowers and fruit pieces on their canvases, many researchers rank Willem van Aelst as one of the followers of Willem Kalf (1619 - 1693), one of the most famous Dutch still life masters.

He also painted a number of elegant hunting still lifes that show very close and detailed killed game, meticulously painted hunting bags, horns, bells and other details from the hunting world. All these hunting supplies are arranged on a marble ledge, casually arranged on an expensive velvet hunting bag, embroidered in gold, decorated with fringes and tassels. From birds - trophies, partridges, fattening up fat, and other small birds. Perhaps because of this, his nickname stuck to the artist - "stuffed bird", tk. for a long time, while still in Italy to practice perfection in writing birds, he worked and painted in the poultry yard.

His still lifes often feature an exquisite blue velvet, indicating that Willem van Aelst used a very expensive lazurite pigment that appeared at that time - ultramarine for paints, which was imported from China. The use of such a pigment further enhanced the value of the artist's paintings, and dictated their purpose only for wealthy houses. Most Dutch artists used cheaper and less stable pigments. Since 1657. the artist remained to live in Amsterdam, where he died in 1683. His paintings are very popular to this day.
