Bartholomeus Johannes van Hove
(The Hague 1790–1880)
A view of Sint Bavokerk Church (Grote Kerk) in Haarlem, signed VAN HOVE, oil on panel, 45 x 61 cm, framed, cradled, (W)
We are grateful to Jeroen Kapelle, RKD for confirming the authenticity on basis of a photograph.
The present lot depicts a view of Sint Bavokerk in Haarlem. This building is the largest church in the city is also known as the Grote Kerk (big church) for this reason, or de oude baaf (the old Bavo) in the vernacular. It is located behind the Spaarne River. The cross-shaped church was built in the 14th century and since then has expanded to its present size.
Bartholomeus Johannes van Hove specialised in depicting city vistas and church interiors stylistically influenced by Romanticism. The figural staffage in the foreground, executed in a fine painting style, enlivens the scene, with the tower of the church rising up in the centre in front of the bright clouds.
