Village With Skaters On Frozen Canal By Alexander Joseph Daiwaille (netherlands, 1818 - 1888)
This view of a Dutch village with skaters on a frozen canal was painted in 1856 by the Dutch portrait and landscape painter Alexander Joseph Daiwaille (1818 Amsterdam, Kingdom of the Netherlands – 1888 Brussels, Kingdom of Belgium).
Alexander Joseph Daiwaille was the son of the painter Jean Augustin Daiwaille; his sister was the painter Élise Thérèse Daiwaille. Like his father, he initially specialized in portraiture, then also turned to landscape painting. He traveled throughout the Netherlands and Germany in search of subjects, visiting cities such as Hilversum (1833–34), Cleves (1834–35), Nijmegen (1835–36), The Hague (1836–39), and again Cleves (1840–48). In Cleves, he worked with his brother-in-law, the landscape painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. He settled in Brussels in 1849, where he lived until his death in 1888. In 1839, he received the prize at the Exhibition of Living Masters. In 1847, he won a silver medal from the Felix Meritis Artists' Association (Amsterdam) for a landscape. He sold two of his landscapes to King William II of the Netherlands in 1848.
