Guillaume Joseph Vertommen

Guillaume Joseph Vertommen was an artist active during the second quarter of the 19th century, with his documented period of production spanning the years 1825 to 1850. Known primarily for his work in graphic arts, Vertommen's historical output consists predominantly of prints addressing figural scenes, genre studies, and allegorical subjects.

Seven of Vertommen's prints are currently represented in major museum collections, establishing the scope of his verifiable oeuvre. These high-quality prints are held in institutions such as the Rijksmuseum. The documented subjects demonstrate a variety of interests, ranging from hunting imagery in the print Hertenjacht to detailed genre scenes such as Man met hoed gezeten op de hoek van een straat bij een kist en aap. Other notable works include the symbolic study Allegorische vrouwen figuren en een leeuw rondom een cartouche and the interior study Jonge vrouw kijkt langs een gordijn naar buiten.

Today, many Guillaume Joseph Vertommen prints are available for scholarly review and appreciation, often categorized as public domain material due to their age.
