Item description
Anthonie Waterloo (Lille 1610 - Utrecht 1690) was a Dutch landscape painter, son of a Flemish craftsman who fled to Amsterdam because of religious persecution. There is no information about his education and it is therefore possible that he was self-taught, but his activity as an art dealer put him in contact with many contemporary artists from whom he learned. He is considered to be one of the first artists to make drawing his favourite language and was also a prolific engraver. Thanks to his etchings, which mainly depict landscapes and views, his name began to circulate and his drawings became increasingly popular. This print is part of the Twelve landscapes series and is marked by the letter L engraved in the upper left-hand corner. With the use of a long, thick stroke we see a river landscape described; on the calm waters of the river two fishermen in a small boat are moving away from their moorings, behind them are several boats with sails. On the left, the focus is on the brick lookout post from which an aviary and a branch protrude, possibly pigeons used to transmit messages. The construction, reflected in the dark surface of the river, is surrounded by the remains of medieval fortifications, huts and trees with abundant foliage. The sky is furrowed by a light horizontal hatching that simulates clouds. Very good impression with intense blacks. Very good state of preservation. Wide margins beyond the copper plate. Fragment of watermark not identifiable. Bibliography: Hollstein 31; Bartsch II.39.31.
