J.P. Lange

J.P. Lange is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Leiden University Libraries.

J.P. Lange painted oil-on-canvas portraits of Dutch officers in the early 1800s. In Portrait of D.H. Baron Chassé, a general stands at attention, his blue coat catching lamplight against a shadowed uniform-gray background. The sitter’s white stock and gold epaulettes catch the eye before the viewer notices the quiet authority in his stance.

Lange’s brushwork keeps every button, every braid, and every shadow crisp and exact, no smudges, no guesses. Tap Portrait of D.H. Baron Chassé to stand close and read the story woven into the fabric and face.
