About the Item
A gorgeous floral still life which marries the depth and the richness found in the work of the Flemish old masters with the elegance and light of French painting. As you will see, there is a reason for this!
Robert Mols was born on June 22, 1848 in the capital of the Flemish region of Belgium.
Extraordinarily gifted, he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where he already obtained several prizes by the age of 13 . At 15, he exhibited for the first time in Antwerp.
Mos was only 17 when he travelled to France fo the first time. He stayed notably in Paris and in Barbizon, a village on the edge of the forest of Fontainebleau where there was a thriving artist's colony. Mols studied with two of of the spearhead figures of the Barbizon movement, Jean François Milles and Jules Dupré.
Mols exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1873 and his works, highly remarked, were on several occasions purchased by the French government. Numerous awards were given to Mols and he notably obtained the cross of the Order of Leopold in 1879, and in 1900, that of Knight of the Legion of Honour.
Mol's work is present at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts and at the National Maritime Museum in Antwerp, at the Army Museum in Brussels and at the museums of Dunkirk , Prague and Sète. Please note that Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp owns a floral composition not dissimilar in style to the one presented here!
