Portrait Of A Man – Oil On Oak Panel, Signed Omer Dierickx (1862–1939)
Artist: Omer Dierickx (1862–1939)
An intimate bust portrait depicting an elderly, bearded man wearing a fur cap, signed "Dierickx."
Famous Belgian academic painter, Omer Dierickx (1862–1939), co-founder of the prestigious Brussels circle “ Pour l’Art”, is particularly known for his monumental frescoes (Brussels City Hall, Saint-Gilles, Tervuren Museum). This painting reflects his mastery of private studio work, presenting a sublime exercise in chiaroscuro, directly inspired by the Old Masters of the Dutch Golden Age (in the style of Rembrandt or Jan Lievens).
Work details:
The work is in excellent condition (a few minor imperfections inherent to its age). The oak panel is sound and sturdy (no wormholes or warping). The paint layer has a magnificent period patina. Sold in its molded wooden frame with a double patina of gold and brown.
