Edmond Theodor Van HovePortrait par Edmond Theodor VAN HOVE (1853-1913)
About the Item
Portrait of a man. Oil painting on canvas, signed and located "Roubaix, 1906".
In this portrait, all attention is focused on the face, which is intrusively and self-consciously looking ahead. Except for the white collar and pocket handkerchief, everything - the clothes and the background - are black. Van Hove's pronounced realism of detail is reminiscent of the Flemish primitives. He has therefore been called "the modern Memling." In terms of artistic approach, this portrait is very close to Edmond Van Hove's self-portrait (1879), which he painted when he was only 28 years old and which is now in the Groeninge Museum in Bruges.
Edmond Van Hove was the eighth child of Jan Van Hove and Isabella Hooghuys. In 1871 he went to Paris, where he attended the École des Beaux-Arts. He returned to Bruges in 1875, where he was appointed to the Academy in 1890. In 1898, he painted his most famous work, The Three Sister Cities (referring to the cities of Ghent, Bruges and Antwerp), a work composed of three panels measuring 70 by 53 cm. Each city is symbolically represented by a female figure. Van Hove moved to Antwerp in 1899 and moved to Ghent in 1902, finally returning to Bruges in 1910. He painted "religious scenes mostly set in the Bruges of his time, historical scenes, beautiful portraits and allegorical scenes".

- Still life with a Chinese bowl by Jean GrimalBy Jean GrimalLocated in Gent, VOVJean Grimal is a true 20th century discovery. This breathtaking piece is a gorgeous example of his mastery as an artist. He beautifully creates chiaroscuro in this painting. The way the light touches the edges of the Chinese bowl and the grapes is an example of his skill in representing light. Jean Grimal (1942-1998) was born in the town of Tulle, France in 1942. Jean’s family moved to Paris when he was 8 years of age. After receiving a classical French education with studies in Latin and Greek, Jean Grimal entered the University to receive his Baccalaureate. He then attended Claude Barnard School for three years, when he received his Art Degree. Upon completion Grimal taught art for seven years. As Grimal’s own interest in formal painting and art began to possess him, the artist’s destiny changed. In 1967 Jean Grimal stepped aside from teaching and pursued a career in professional painting and working as an illustrator in advertising. As an advertising illustrator, Grimal worked with Lise Goldfard for more than 25 years at Studio 44 where they collaborated with major and important accounts, such as: Air France, Christofle, Peugeot, Lacoste, to name a few. At the same time he began presenting his formal paintings to galleries in Paris and Cannes, France and in London and Windsor, England. Much to his surprise, Grimal found that his paintings were sought after by major art galleries and collectors throughout Europe. After a number of years of being an important and successful art illustrator for these major accounts, he found himself having to choose between the two. Fortunately for collectors, he chose to dedicate his life to the classical style of painting. Jean looked at the simplest things in life through a microscope, where he could take the simplest object and depict the age of the fruit or the leaf. Jean Grimal received great pleasure from his work and painted for over thirty years. As his style matured and became ever more perfect Jean Grimal truly reached the pinnacle of his career. The artist’s methods were particularly distinguished when measured against his peers. Grimal’s painting skill was distinctive and exceptional. Jean Grimal was known for his realistic trompe l’oeil and still life paintings. The artist would carefully arrange the objects to form a satisfying composition. By painting every shadow, highlight, and reflection within each composition Grimal brought mundane subjects to life. His tight rendering combined with his attention to light and detail allowed him to blur the lines between illusion and reality, truly making his works one of a kind. Grimal’s trompe l’oeil paintings consist of intricate compositions of cards, envelopes, photographs, paper of different materials and weights, backs of canvases, images of other artists’ works, kitchen utensils, pistols, and more. Grimal had a talent for mastering these illusions that deceive the eye in his trompe l’oeil paintings. No matter what genre Grimal was painting, tight, unperceivable brushwork characterizes his work. The artist painted every crease and crinkle, every shadow and highlight, every detail. By doing so, he was able to capture each individual surface texture of the objects in his paintings. Grimal was also fabulous at depicting light in his paintings- often contrasting strong lights with strong darks, creating chiaroscuro modeling. His still life paintings are reminiscent of Dutch seventeenth century...Category
