Een leven tussen licht en donker, Leiden 2012, p.194, illustrated Registered in the Van Schendel archive, number OS/64 Van Schendel made several studies for the present lot, including a larger version which was exhibited in 1869 (present whereabouts unknown). The artist has painted himself into the composition (in the left corner) sharing the crowd’s fascination with the sculpture, illuminated by the ‘Bengal lights’, a form of firework that gave out a slow burning light of various hues. Some of the crowd hold their noses or cover their mouths to sheild themselves from the highly noxious effects of the smoke produced by the lights. We are grateful to Jan de Meere for his assistance in cataloguing this lot. 10 | Bonhams 19th Century Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours | 11 Cornelis Springer, Zaltbommel van Balverenchapel, pencil, 57 x 41cm Museum Stadskasteel, Zaltbommel Other properties 4 Cornelis Springer (Dutch, 1817-1891) the Van Balveren Chapel at St.
