Paintings

Leo probably painted more than his father but I know of several paintings by Petrus which I want to add to the website when I have had the opportunity to track them down.

Louis Stracké painted a number of pictures of birds and other animals, one of which I show here. There is another of a Maned Wolf, in a collection in the Netherlands, which I will add if I can be sure it is free of copyright. Unfortunately, the version I have on file is covered in watermarks.

The Dutch have been very forward-looking with copyright, the Rijksmuseum having led the way in making its collection of art available for download with no commercial restrictions.

Picture 3 of 12

I was given this painting by my grandfather but know nothing about the sitter other than I understood her to be a friend of the family. I'm not even sure if I have spelled the name correctly as It's a phonetic interpretation of her name as spoken by my grandfather.

What I do know is that it is an oil on canvas, signed by Leo Arendzen and dated 1901. I had restoration carried out about thirty years ago including having the painting relined.

If anyone has information on this, please get in touch.
