Vintage 1910s Van Vreelan Art Print "DUTCH FLOWER MARKET"
Amsterdam City/Amstel River Scape Scene
Original Gilt Frame & Glass
33.75" long x 17.75" high frame, frame is a generous 2.25" wide and is gorgeous and heavy inset molded wood with a mottled bronzed/ antiqued gold finish
Excellent vintage condition, genuine 1910s, not a repro. High quality art print of a scene of a Dutch flower market in Amsterdam along the Amstel river, with buyers, sellers, boats, landscape of city in background, wonderfully painted buildings, and lots and lots of Dutch flowers in baskets. Stunning. The artist's technique is very soft and dreamy, but there are gorgeous minute details and depth that make the viewer feel as if they are transported back in time right into the picture.
About the artist: Francis William Van Vreeland (1879-1954), first worked as a decorator at the Rookwood Pottery Company. He studied art at the Cincinnati Art Academy, and in Paris at Academie Julian. He exhibited at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900, and The Paris Salon in 1911. Returning to the US he studied at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art, and at the Art Students League in New York City. Vreeland moved to Hollywood, California in the 1920s
Very beautiful frame. Textured grooved lines and recesses which are deliberately antiqued in a much darker shade of gold/ bronze gilt. NO DAMAGE to print, frame or glass. No scratches or cloudiness to glass. Frame has some slight rubs here and there on the surface at edges, but extremely minor and not down to bare wood....just adds to the charm. Back has original brown paper backing which has one tear in paper near the top. Has its original Art Gallery framing label, written in pen and ink, from Indianapolis Indiana. Secure wire hanger attached across back, ready to hang. No fading or buckling to print. See all pics and use zoom.
Highly collectible. In amazing shape for age. Will look beautiful hung on any wall.
This art piece was purchased at an Estate sale of an elderly lady that was of Dutch descent and she had this in a very special place in her home, out of sunlight, it was a family piece.
Ships fully insured and packed with great care to make sure it arrives in tip top condition. This piece is EXTREMELY HEAVY [ well over 1" thick solid hardwood] which is reflected in shipping.
