1916
oil
From the collection of South African National Gallery
Rhodes Memorial is a 1916 oil by Pieter Wenning, a Biedermeier work, held at South African National Gallery.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a memorial in the center, surrounded by trees and a blue sky with white clouds. The memorial is a large structure with columns and a dome, set against a backdrop of rolling hills. In the foreground, the artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to create a sense of depth and texture. The trees are rendered in shades of green, while the sky is a brilliant blue with touches of white. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Pieter Wenning, who was known for his landscapes and use of chiaroscuro.
Pieter Willem Frederick Wenning (9 September 1873 – 24 January 1921) was a South African painter and etcher, considered to be the progenitor of the style of Cape Impressionism.
