About this Item

Tinus de Jongh
South African 1885-1942
Victoria Drive (sic)

signed; inscribed with the title on a plaque adhered to the frame

oil on canvas
54,5 by 82cm excluding frame; 85 by 113 by 9cm including frame

Notes

The title on the plaque is incorrect, it should more correctly be 'Victoria Road'.

Born in Amsterdam in 1885, De Jongh and his family immigrated to South Africa in 1921 and settled in the Cape, where he created his acclaimed landscape paintings of Cape Town and the Cederberg. The strong South African sunshine encouraged the self-taught artist to abandon his early more muted palette in the Dutch tradition in favour of more saturated colours.

The present lot depicts Victoria Road which runs above the beaches at Clifton, with the Twelve Apostles mountain range on the left, linking Sea Point with Camps Bay. Completed in 1887 this road was named Victoria in honour of the Queen’s Jubilee the following year.
