Louis Pierre Verwée (Verwee)

Louis-Pierre Verwee or Louis Pierre Verwée was a Belgian painter known for his rural landscapes with cattle and winter landscapes. He is the principal representative of the Romantic school in Belgian landscape painting characterised by a return to nature. His early works are similar to those of his master Verboeckhoven, to the extent that it is often difficult to distinguish their work. Verboeckhoven sometimes painted the figures and animals in Verwee's pictures. Verwee's paintings of forests and rivers are in the stereotypical, romantic way. In the later part of his career he strived for innovation, but from 1837 onwards he became stuck in ever-changing winter landscapes. Louis-Pierre Verwee depicted these landscapes with low-hanging, heavy snow clouds over wintry land and waterways and dotted with figures. He used light blue and metallic gray in his color palette in an effort to suggest the intimate, moody aspect of such landscapes. In some of these paintings Florent Willems and Verboeckhoven painted the figures. He made a number of lithographs after works of Eugène Verboeckhoven.
