Ab Salm (1801-1876) - Koeien in Hollands landschap

Schitterend Hollands werk van deze beroemde schilder Ab Salm. De Indische werken van hem hebben heel veel waarde. Dit werk heeft deze Amsterdamse schilder nog in Nederland gemaakt voordat hij naar Indie vertrok. Er zijn weinig Nederlandse werken bekend van zijn hand.
Abraham Salm, also known as Abram or Ab, was born in 1801 in Amsterdam, where he spent the first three decades of his life. During this time Salm worked as a merchant, but he was also a collector of art and a painter. He created several landscapes pictures which depicted scenes like cattle grazing and people hunting. For these paintings Salm must have received a certain degree of positive recognition, given the fact the he became a member of the Royal Academy of Art in Amsterdam in 1833 and his work was allowed to be presented at the exhibitions of the artist’s society ‘Levende Meesters’. This society was a Dutch group of contemporary painters and can in a way be compared to the French Salon of that time.[1]In 1837 Salm left the Netherlands and moved to the Dutch East Indies where he spent a big part of his life on Java working as a tobacco planter. It was here that the painter got fascinated by the beauty of the tropical landscape, which resulted in the production of many pictures in which he captivated the nature of Indonesia in a realistic but sometimes also dramatic way.
