Van Belleghem Jos
Beernem 1894 – 1970 Veurne, Belgian Painter
Signature: Signed bottom right
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: Image size 50 x 40 cm, frame size 61 x 51 cm
Van Belleghem Jos found his inspiration almost exclusively in the Westhoek, the flat land of Veurne-Ambacht, the turbulent or the calm sea, harbour views and sturdy fishermen figures.
“A Portrait of a Fisherman” painted realistic, but slightly romanticizes description and with an impressionistic touch. We see a gently twisted profile portrait of a strong fisherman wearing a cap. His eyes are not directed at the viewer, the skin is rendered in different colours and his surroundings are in harmony with the whole. Love for a common people and painting in the tradition of portraiture have led to this incredible result.
Biography: Van Belleghem Jos was born in Beernem, Belgium in 1894. He was a Belgian painter and draughtsman of landscapes, marines, village views, harbours, seascapes, dunes and fishermen. He was a father of the sculptor Gilbert Van Belleghem (1924 – 2008).

He worked at the front of the IJzer during the First World War, became fascinated by the region and settled in Veurne in 1921. Artist found his inspiration almost exclusively in the Westhoek, the flat land of Veurne-Ambacht, the turbulent or the calm sea, sturdy fishermen figures, harbour views. He painted realistic, but slightly romanticizes description and with an impressionistic touch.
