| Bartholomeus Johannes Van Hove: (b The Hague, 28 Oct 1790; d The Hague, 8 Nov 1880). Dutch painter. He was trained by his father, who was a gilder and frame maker, by Joannes Henricus Albertus Antonius Breckenheijmer (1772¨C1856), a painter of stage scenery, and at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in The Hague. He succeeded Breckenheijmer as resident painter at the Hague theatre, the Koninklijke Schouwburg, where he became renowned for his beautiful sets, some of which have been preserved (Amsterdam, Theatmus.). He also produced easel paintings, chiefly townscapes. One of his best works is the Garden at Gedempte Burgwal 34 in The Hague (1828; The Hague, Gemeentemus.). This carefully constructed view displays skills learnt in the theatre. Later in his career, in tune with general stylistic developments in Dutch art, detailed execution and subtle use of colour gave way to a looser touch and a greyer palette. The Gothic Gate (1841; Enschede, priv. col. Edwina van Heek) and View on the Zieken in The Hague illustrate this shift. As well as his townscapes, mainly featuring complex and majestic churches, van Hove also painted church interiors (Church Interior, 1844; Amsterdam, Rijksmus.). He was a popular and capable teacher. The best-known of his pupils were Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch and Johannes Bosboom. |
