Jules Van De Leene, Painting "beached Barques", Gouache On Cardboard, Ca 1920

Painting by Jules Van De Leene around 1920, representing boats (boats, sailboats, tratanes?) stranded on a beach at low tide. Colorful, pleasant, bright and lively painting. The touch of the painter is lively, we feel the assured technique of the watercolourist having no room for error. Gouache technique on cardboard, period frame in carved wood stuccoed under glass, some lack of plaster to note (see photos)... Dimensions: H 36cm x W 56cm without frame, (H 53cm x W 70cm with frame). In very good condition, unsigned.Provenance: Artist's family. Biography: Belgian school painter from Brussels (Ixelles 1887 - Auderghem 1962). Trained at the Academies of Ixelles and Brussels with Constant Montald, he began with watercolor (nude, portrait, interior, marine) in a rather realistic style, he then discovered oil painting in 1923, his painting then became more luminous. .. Many stays in the Netherlands from 1912 to 1913, visits to France from 1919 to 1922, stays regularly in the Netherlands from 1927 to 1930.
