Louis-Pierre Verwee

[1] He is the principal representative of the Romantic school in Belgian landscape painting characterised by a return to nature.

[5] Verwee's paintings of forests and rivers are in the stereotypical, romantic way that can be found in the landscapes of the painters Andreas Schelfhout (1787–1870), Barend Cornelis Koekkoek (1803–1862), Frans Keelhoff (1820–1893) and Johann Bernard Klombeck (1815–1893).

This type of winter landscapes had become popular due to the work of Barend Cornelis Koekkoek and Andreas Schelfhout.

Louis-Pierre Verwee depicted these landscapes with low-hanging, heavy snow clouds over wintry land and waterways and dotted with figures.

He used light blue and metallic gray in his color palette in an effort to suggest the intimate, moody aspect of such landscapes.
