Anton Pieck (1895-1987) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist. The work of Anton Pieck contains paintings in oil and watercolour, etchings, woodcarvings, engravings, litho's, travel-drawings and textbook- illustrations. His works are noted for their nostalgic or fairytale-like character and are widely popular, appearing regularly on cards and calendars.
Pieck designed the fairytale park Efteling in Kaatsheuvel, which is one of the most important theme parks in Europe.
At the age of 11, he won his first prize for an oil painting of a still life.
At the age of 17, he obtains his secondary school drawing certificate.
From 1920 until 1960 Pieck is a drawing-art-master at the Kennemer Lyceum in Bloemendaal.
In 1984 the Anton Pieck Museum in Hattem was opened officially by Princess Margriet.

ReplyDeleteIn your collection of Anton Pieck, I found the picture I just purchased at our local Goodwill. It is the 26 picture when you scroll down. I only payed $2.50 for it! It is a Vintage scene shadow box, and it is signed. I love the amount of detail through out the scene! It shows a women and child looking toward the street, watching a man riding a horse carriage and a man riding a large wheeled tricycle, a dog drinking from a pail, and many more details. Any idea as to what year it was made?
ReplyDeleteSorry, can't help you...
DeleteAny idea what these are worth I currently have the 18 and 23 from the top. Love his work
ReplyDeletePieck's work is spred over many years but, most cased work is around the 50s-1970s (mostly the latter). His pieces command good prices in his native country, with glazed versions being the more highly sought after. Most prints are just a few pounds but, I have seen larger glazed pieces making mid hundreds.
