Charles Warland, Impressionist Landscape With Dwellings

Charles Warland, Impressionist Landscape With Dwellings

An atmospheric late 19th-century landscape painting by Belgian artist, Charles Warland (1856-1921). This piece is a masterclass in composition with the scenery perfectly balanced.

Towards the centre, a path winds its way around to our left before disappearing behind some buildings. While on the right, a sizeable bank of earth frames that side of the image.

Warland often painted atmospheric landscapes of this type and he was undoubtedly influenced by his teacher at the Brussels Fine Art Academy, Willem Roelofs (1822–1897). Roelofs was a member of the ‘Hague School’ of artists who believed in working outside and painting how they felt rather than simply what they saw.

Later in Warland’s career, he exhibited at the prestigious Exposition Generale des Beaux-Art and he remains a popular artist for collectors of impressionism.

The painting is signed in the lower right and housed within an antique frame that’s probably the original.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
