Wilhelm Gdanietz, Interior Scene, Oil Painting
A beautifully rendered oil on canvas depicting a room at ’The Königspesel’ on the island of Hooge, near Germany.
The Königspesel was built in 1776 by Captain Tade Hans Bandix and contains many historical treasures and artefacts. It’s said that King Frederick VI of Denmark slept here during a stay in 1825, which is why it’s known as the Königspesel (King’s Parlour). In this particular room, the ‘Pesel’, the walls are decorated with intricate Delft tiles and fine antique artworks.
In 1953, the artist Wilhelm Gdanietz (1893-1969) painted the Pesel as it was at that point in time. It remains almost identical to this day and open to the public.
Wilhelm Gdanietz led a difficult life but overcame the odds to become a very successful painter. At the age of two, he became deaf following a bout of scarlet fever, which led to him spending much of his childhood at a ‘deaf and dumb’ institution. During this time, he must’ve found great solace in his art as by the age of 19 he gained access to the Academy in Düsseldorf.
His style was firmly rooted in the past and he was particularly inspired by the Dutch old masters. For a while, he moved to Holland where he ran a studio in Volendam. During this period he produced many interior scenes and his works gained popularity following museum exhibitions.
In 1930, he retired to Düsseldorf where he lived in a cottage decorated with Delft tiles and Dutch antiques. It seems that Holland remained close to his heart throughout his life.
The painting is signed/dated in the lower left and housed within a gilded wooden frame. Certainly a museum quality piece.

Overall size: 30” x 27” / 77cm x 68cm
Year of creation: 1953

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
