SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Bruno van Straaten (1786–1870) was a Dutch painter born and deceased in Utrecht, the city with which his work remained associated. His documented works range from urban views to rural landscapes, giving attention to the uses of land. A bleaching field in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen brings together a working area, houses and a windmill. Other sheets show a road beside a barn or a goatherd with his animals. Oil painting on wood appears alongside drawing and printmaking within this repertoire. A view of Utrecht’s Morgenster bastion recorded by the Rijksmuseum extends his interest in familiar places. His work thus connects architecture and human activities with their landscape surroundings.
This profile brings together identity references for Bruno van Straaten and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
