Henri Joseph Pauwels (1903-1983) - The Port Of Antwerp

- Oil on canvas.- A prominent artist of Belgian origin, Pauwels devoted a large part of his output to maritime scenes set in the immense port of Antwerp. Huge steamships, powerful tugboats, and long barges sail alongside small fishing and pleasure boats on the waters of the Western Scheldt. This magnificent painting, which begins with the austere yellow stain drawn by the hull of the main cargo ship, is articulated into perfectly executed surfaces of sky and water on which the artist sumptuously distributes columns of smoke and reflections. The naval and industrial power of Europe is vigorously demonstrated in this Babel of ships.- Dimensions of the image without frame: 80 x 120 cm / 96 x 136 cm with a sober dark frame.- Galerie Montbaron includes with all its lots a technical sheet drawn by a qualified art historian.
