BLEULER, Johann Ludwig ("Louis") (1792-1850). "Vue de la ville d'Arnheim, vers Bom[m]el". N.d. Or. gouache on paper (based on an aquatint?). Signed (?) in ink in lower right margin "Louis Bleuler à Schafhouse en Suisse". W. caption in ms. and numbered in ink '45' (?) in right upper corner. Framed, glazed and under passepartout.
The Swiss landscape painter Louis Bleuler started his own publishing company in Schaffhausen. Beginning in 1827, he worked on a sequence of prints featuring landscapes and vedute along the Rhein; a project that would occupy him until his death. Our view of Arnhem is an original colour drawing (of which more copies - practically similar - seem to exist) which strongly resembles the smaller print that was published in his 'Voyage pittoresque aux bords du Rhin et de la Suisse' in 1845.€ 300
