Chronological list with in English published titles of books of Meredith Owen, Pseudonym of Edward Bulwer Lytton (1803-1873). The romantic tradition. A continuation. Landscapes. For centuries they’re being used in art as background for a another subject, or to serve as a subject in itself. These words sound in a part of the work of the Dutch writer and art painter Jan G. Marque, who wants to indicate that the landscape painting has a long tradition within painter art. Although for the most part Marque’s work exists out of what he calls Philosophical Realism; -artwork where combined word- and image-symbolism stimulate people into searching for subjects and let them reflect on it- with his romantic landscapes he chooses for another approach. The undergoing of the image with feeling by the spectator is the main point. He accomplish this with a traditional palette in oil on canvas. By means of sharp brushstrokes he creates colourful, virtuoso, romantic landscapes which are manufactured with much feeling and eye for detail. Here the landscape indicates the looking direction, and the found light holds the eye of the spectator. Marque gives us with his impressive work deliberately a glimpse to the past. They who make one’s way to the woods and know the beauty of nature, certainly recognise an image which also represents the present. Here the painter in him obtains his inspiration. Many travels and walking in nature ensure sufficient information and inspiration to devise at home. Every landscape has been built from fragments of images such as Jan G. Marque for the most part in reality has seen and experienced on one of his travels. This, completed with own ideas where he idealises the landscape just like its predecessors, he paints without using sketches and pre-studies, direct on canvas. By the centuries gone the landscape inspired, got its by-effect in several trends, knew varied styles and captivated above all. Their sources: the love for nature, the tension and perception, the changing light. The `landscape' can delight itself thus in a broad public interest. Not only the contemporary physical perception speaks to the imagination. Particularly the landscape in art captivates many and authoritative art painters have built a long tradition in this multi-purpose area. Names as Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, Johan Bernhard Klombeck, Frederik Marinus Kruseman and Andreas Schelfhout, but also Gerard Bilders, Wijnand Nuyen, Louwrens Hanedoes en Willem Roelofs, are still living representatives of the romantic tradition. A tradition which Marque continues himself thus with much pleasure and with his own brushstroke. One thing is certain, the romantic landscapes of Jan G. Marque are timeless and inspiring.
