About this Artwork

Snow settles like chalk over the forest, muting the night. Two owls cling to crooked branches, their plumage patterned with the same curved lines that ripple through Hoytema’s lithographs. Above them, a column of swans traces pale ellipses across the moon-washed air.

Each form holds the rhythm of Dutch winter: restraint, patience, foreboding calm. The artist’s hand turns cold light into ornament, stylizing frost into a moral quiet. His creatures seem to guard the border between sleeping soil and returning spirit, echoing

Art Nouveau’s reverence for nature as design, and Symbolism’s faith in darkness as renewal. A hymn in ink and silence, this print renders stillness sacred, the hour before warmth reclaims the sky.

Artist Biography

Theo van Hoytema (1863–1917) drew the soul of birds with such quiet reverence that his calendars, once ephemeral, became timeless Dutch icons. Born in The Hague to a government official’s family and orphaned young, van Hoytema chose ink over income, abandoning finance for fine lines and feathered subjects.

Hoytema’s work mingles Art Nouveau elegance with ornithological precision. His birds were never merely decorative—they perched on the cusp of fable and field guide. His early studies at the Royal Academy and sketches of taxidermied animals at the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie paved the way for his delicate, almost spiritual lithographs.

Fragile health and periods in psychiatric care shadowed his later life, yet in those years he produced his most beloved works: a series of seasonal calendars now revered for their poetic simplicity. He died in The Hague, under the quiet care of his sister, leaving behind a body of work that continues to sing.
