Chicken Yard By Eugène Remy Maes (dutch, 1849 - 1931)
Artist: Eugène Remy Maes
This painting with chicken yard was executed by good listed Belgian animale painter Eugène Remy Maes (Puurs 1849 - 1931 Kontich).
He was the son of Ivo Guillaume Maes and Joanna Maria Maes. He was a student at the Brussels Academy and became a painter of portraits, genre scenes and representations of animals. Animal representations include sheep, cattle, small livestock but especially poultry such as chickens and cats, dogs. For some paintings he worked with genre painters such as David Col, Gerard Portielje and Jan Portielje. He marketed a large part of his production through the art dealers Albert D'Huyvetter and his son Albert junior. Maes sometimes used the pseudonyms Ermaes and Théo Van Sluys. The latter would have been the name of a family member.
