Does anyone know artist named Veningen

maggiepeterson · October 19th, 2011, 04:57 PM

I have an oil painting, signed by Veningen, note on back says #4 landscape by Veningen. Also says born in Rotterdam in 1930 to a family of artists including Johann Schaeffer. Educated at Rotterdam Art School. Spent much of his time with his wife's family in Germany where he finds most of the scenerary he depicts.

I've searched and searched and can't find anything about this artist. I know their is a town/area called Veningen, but that's all I can find.

I'm trying to figure out what I have. Thanks for any help or guidance anyone can provide.

Hello Maggie,
He or she is not a listed Dutch painter but if you can show us pictures of the front, close-up signature and back we can try to figure out more.

Here are pictures, although maybe not the best. It was hard for me to pick out Veningen on the lower right corner but can see it if I hold it in the light at the right angle, but picture doesn't show this well. If you think better pictures would help I will try to take more and send along. Thank you for your help. This belonged to a woman who had many fine estate pieces so I'm thinking this might be valuable?
