About the Item

A beautiful signed and dated 1947 Dutch watercolour depicting a Haarlem winter landscape, by Frans Funke. The work is very nicely painted and in good original condition. Signed and dated lower right. Framing options available. Artist: Frans Funke (Dutch, 1908-1993) Title: Haarlem Medium: Watercolour on paper Size: 13.5 x 18.5 inches (34.5 x 47 cm) unframed Frans Funke was a Dutch comic artist, advertising illustrator and watercolour painter. Franciscus Wilhelmus Aloysius Funke Küpper was born in 1908 in Rotterdam as the son of a German father and Dutch mother. Just like his older brothers Albert Funke Küpper (1894-1934) and Theo Funke Küpper (1904-1977), he inherited his artistic talent from his father, the Westphalian painter Bernard Anton Funke Küpper (1869-1955). After World War II, Frans Funke was mainly active as a painter, while taking a day job as a secondary school teacher. He made many trips abroad, including to France, Spain, Greece and Turkey. In 1966, Frans Funke and his French wife Rithé founded the Gallery T in Haarlem, with an annex called Gallery Jalmar in Amsterdam. In 1973, all activities of Gallery T were moved to a new location at the Amsterdam Keizersgracht. The gallery specialized in artists from the New Figuration movement. Besides showing work of young and upcoming Dutch artists like Kees Spermon, Siet Zuyderland, John Verberk and Age Klink, Gallery T also organized the first Dutch solo shows of international artists like David Hockney, Antonio Segui, Vladimir Veličković, José Gamarra and Michel Macréau. Health issues of Rithé Funke forced the couple to close the doors of their gallery in October 1977.
