Description
Around the old tower of Woensel, we see a glimmer of refined light filtering like snow through a fringe of stately trees. The autumnal atmosphere is subdued, yet it abundantly fills the entire space of this work. The perspective is formed by country roads and a low wall, which captures and conforms to the trees and the old tower.
Of course, it should not go unmentioned that this is the tower in which the brilliant artist Jan Kruysen, forced by deep poverty, found shelter with all his children from 1911 onwards.
Biography
Dimmen Gestel (1862–1945) is primarily described as a friend/student of Vincent van Gogh. Yet, he is also important as an independent artist. In his younger years, Dimmen studied at the Rijksnormaalschool in Amsterdam for his MO (Motor Education) drawing certificate, graduating with honors. Meanwhile, he accompanied van Gogh on his painting expeditions when he was home in between. He also studied with August Allebé and Theo Molenboer. His subjects are landscapes, genre still lifes. Dimmen Gestel worked in the style of the Hague School.
