Gustaaf De Smet
Geese going into the Leie - Gustaaf De Smet (Gent 1877 -1943)

About the Item

Oil on canvas Signed lower right: “Gustave De Smet” “Geese going into the Leie,” by Gustave De Smet captures a serene moment in the Belgian countryside. The painting invites viewers to witness a simple yet captivating scene: three geese making their way towards the Leie River. De Smet’s Impressionist style is characterized by his ability to capture the essence of the moment, emphasizing the interplay of light and color to create a calm atmosphere. The geese appear to move with purpose, marching gracefully toward the water. The Leie itself is a tranquil presence, next to the water there is a solitary tree and a shed. The tree leaves and the shed’s weathered timbers are rendered with a keen eye for detail, further highlighting the skill of the painter. “Geese going into the Leie,” is a testament to De Smet’s ability to convey a sense of quiet beauty in the everyday, transforming a seemingly ordinary moment into a work of art that invites appreciation of the simple pleasures of life.

    By William Langson Lathrop
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Signed lower right. Complemented by a period frame. William L. Lathrop (1859-1938) Deemed “Father of the New Hope Art Colony”, William Langson Lathrop was born in Warren, Illinois. He was largely self-taught, having only studied briefly with William Merritt Chase in 1887, at the Art Students League. Lathrop first moved east in the early 1880s, and took a job at the Photoengraving Company in New York City. While there, he befriended a fellow employee, Henry B. Snell.
