More about this artwork

Henri de Braekeleer’s painting "Farmhouse," created between 1865 and 1875, invites viewers into a tranquil pastoral scene that encapsulates the essence of rural life in the 19th century. This artwork, steeped in naturalistic details, illustrates a quiet moment on a farm, enveloped by the lush beauty of the countryside.The painting features a rustic farmhouse surrounded by thatched-roof structures which contribute to the old-world charm of the scene. In the foreground, sheep leisurely graze, accompanied by a herder and his dog, suggesting a day of tending to the flock. The soft, muted tones of green and brown dominate the landscape, seamlessly blending the structures into their natural environment.Tall, slender trees punctuate the sky, their leaves rendered with gentle brushstrokes that catch the light, creating a lively yet calm atmosphere. This simplicity in structure and color echoes the peaceful, unhurried life far from the bustling cities of the time."Braekeleer’s “Farmhouse” is more than just a depiction of rural architecture and agrarian life; it embodies a quiet meditation on the rhythm and harmony of nature, celebrating the timeless bond between humans and their environment.

Henri Jean Augustin de Braekeleer (11 June 1840 – 20 July 1888) was a Belgian painter. He was born and died in Antwerp. He was trained in drawing by his father Ferdinand de Braekeleer, a well-known genre painter, and his uncle Jan August Hendrik Leys. Braekeleer entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp) in 1854. Although he remained a student there until 1861, he publicly exhibited his paintings for the first time in 1858, when Reaper and Washerwoman (locations unknown) were shown at the Antwerp Salon. In 1863, he went to Germany and, in 1864, to the Netherlands, studying works by 16th- and 17th-century painters in both countries. The influence of Johannes Vermeer was especially important, seen in one of de Braekeleer's most characteristic subjects: a single person absorbed in a quiet activity, shown in an interior lit by a window.
