Victor Van Hove (1825-1891): “Still life with cherries”, oil on canvas 38 X 46 cm mounted in a beautiful gilt frame with channels 62 X 72 cm. Circa 1870. This adorable painting on the subject as much appreciated by grandchildren as by their parents, is the work of this beautiful Belgian artist who, originally a sculptor, author of numerous monuments for public commissions, was also a painter when these These were rare, fortunately for us! The subject, treated in the great Flemish tradition, playing on the contrasts of the white linen standing out against the dark background which highlights the complexion of the cherries with a pyramidal composition balanced by the silver knife.
