Henricus Wilhelmus, (1814-1845), Couwenberg
Henricus Wilhelmus, (1814-1845), Couwenberg is a Realism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Leiden University Libraries.
Dutch painter in the early 1800s, Henricus Couwenberg made formal portraits that feel more like records than experiments. His Portrait of Paulus Potter shows another artist dressed neatly in dark clothes, standing against a plain background. The brushwork keeps everything flat and careful, letting the sitter’s face and clothes do the talking. If you want to see how Dutch portraiture stayed businesslike even as styles changed, tap into his Portrait of Paulus Potter.
