PAUL JOSEPH CONSTANTIN GABRIEL the Netherlands 1828- 1903 Sommarlandskap Signed and dated Gabriel P 1872. Oil on canvas laid down on board, 32 x 56 cm. PROVENANCE: E.J. van Wisselingh & Co, Amsterdam Gabriel started as a carpenter apprentice, but soon went on to study art at the École des Beaux-Arts in Amsterdam. Later on he studied for Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. He settled in Harlem, Amsterdam where his friendship with Anton Mauve had a beneficial influence on his career. He went on to work in Oosterbeek and stayed more than 20 years in Brussels. At old age Gabriel returned to Holland. He specialized in marsh and canals scenes and captured the humid atmosphere that is so typical for Holland. His paintings show a chromatic subtility and a delicate handling. The strict compositions appealed to Piet Mondrian, who in 1895 copied En juillet, painted by Paul Gabriel in 1888.
