Enter Adrianus Eversen, born January 13, 1818 in Amsterdam and died December 1, 1897 in Delft. A virtuoso of brushes and pencils, he carried the legacy of old Dutch cityscapes into the modern era. His works show a deep love and excellent understanding of architecture and light, which he always placed as the main protagonists of his paintings. Eversen began his artistic journey under the care of Cornelius Springer, a master of architectural painting and vedute. Together with Hendrik Gerrit ten Cate he learned the fine art of setting buildings and cities in scene. But Eversen did not limit himself to the faithful depiction of reality, as his teacher did. The romantic in him allowed his imagination to occasionally enter into his cityscapes, endowing them with a vivid, almost magical aura. Another mentor who contributed to Eversen's development was Cornelis de Kruyff.
Eversen worked in the tradition of the great Dutch painters such as Jan van der Heyden and Isaac Ouwater in Amsterdam. However, his reputation and works quickly transcended the boundaries of his hometown. He exhibited his works in The Hague, Leeuwarden, Bremen in the 1860s, Dresden (1871 and 1880), Berlin (1880), and even Vienna (1882). Eversen was a proud member of the renowned artists' association Arti et Amicitiae. And so Eversen's legacy lives on today in our exquisite fine art prints. This artistic baton has also been passed on to succeeding generations. The painter Johannes Hendrik Eversen, a descendant of Adrianus Eversen, continued the legacy. And so the magic of Eversen's cityscapes and his loving depiction of architecture remains alive - in every art print that honors his work.
