Cornelius Van Leemputten (Belgian, 1841-1902)
Cornelius Van Leemputten was a Belgian painter known for his scenes of farmyard animals and landscapes with shepherds and grazing sheep. With the exception of a few lessons from his father, he was principally self-taught through the making of studies from nature in areas such as Brabant and the Campine region in north-eastern Belgium. Leemputten is predominantly known for his landscapes with sheep, similar in style to those of Charles Jacque. He was also influenced by the Romantic scenes with cattle by the Belgian artist Eugene Joseph Verboeckhoven, which he reinterpreted in a more realistic manner. His compositions often depict, with small variations, the Belgian flat countryside with low horizon, vegetation and water surfaces in the foreground and miniature figures.
