VIEW OF THE BOSBRUG IN THE HAGUE

JACOB ELIAS LA FARGUE


1735 - C 1778
Oil on panel 10 ½ x 14 ½ inches

Dutch painter of town scenes and landscapes in oils and watercolours, born in The Hague in 1735. He was the younger brother of the painter Paulus Constantin La Fargue.

This view is particularly characteristic of his work and depicts a view of the Bosbrug (Forest Bridge) in the Hague seen from the Hague Woods to the street called Korte Voorhout. The houses, which are visible on the corners of the street, in front of the Prinsessegracht canal, no longer exist, as they were bombed in 1945. Both Jacob and Paulus painted, drew and etched a number of variations of the view, many of which were based on the spot sketches made by Paulus Constantin.

Their paintings provide a valuable record of the topography of Holland in the eighteenth century.

Works in public collections: Teylers Museum, Haarlem; Communal Museum, The Hague.

Bibl: Benezit

This work is to be included in a Catalogue Raisonne of works by five members of the La Fargue family, which is currently being prepared by Mr Charles Dumas, Chief Curator of the Netherlands Institute for Art History. We are grateful for his assistance in identifying this work.
