Did You Know?
Louis Nicolas van Blarenberghe was from a family of painters; among them he was known as “the great Blarenberghe.”Description
Louis Nicolas van Blarenberghe was known for drawings such as this one, which were executed on a small scale with exacting detail. His designs attracted the attention of the French monarchy, and he received numerous royal commissions. This work shows well-dressed figures enjoying outdoor leisure in a rural village. Its panoramic landscape and dense crowd were both characteristic of Van Blarenberghe’s miniaturist style.- December 9, 1975Christie's Manson & Woods, London, England1975-1980Mr. Noah L.
