About the Item
This is an original unique oil painting by the artist, Edward Antoon Portielje, a late nineteenth-, early twentieth-century Belgian painter from Antwerp, who showed an interest in seemingly disparate subjects. On the one hand, his image of the domestic woman shows a sensitivity toward the female sitter and the encompassing environment, while his depictions of Dutch fishermen suggest a versatility in choice of subject matter and execution. Modern audiences will be more familiar with his works dedicated to the perpetuation of the cult of the female, which looks back romantically to eighteenth century artists and show glimpses of daily life.
He was born in 1861, the son of Dutch artist Jan Frederik Pieter Portielje, who was primarily a portrait painter. He undertook artistic training at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp, studying under Charles Verlat, who also taught Van Gogh during the 1880s.
His intimate interior scenes, in the artistic lineage of Belgian painter Jean-Baptiste Madou, offer light-hearted reflections of leisure time rendered in warm tones, that give his paintings such appealing qualities. His reliance on local exhibitions shows his patriotism to the creation and advancement of typically Belgian art, in both theme and mood.
Portielje's contributions to Belgian painting earned him the respected honour of Knigthood from the State. He died in Antwerp in 1949.
