Frans van Severdonck
Rooster and Hens at Daybreak by Frans van Severdonck, 1862

1862

About the Item

”Rooster and Hens at Daybreak” is a delightful painting of rural life, created by the Belgian artist Frans van Severdonck (1809-1889). Van Severdonck, a native of Brussels, spent his lifetime capturing the essence of his surroundings, dedicating his artistic endeavors to the city where he was born. While the intricacies of his training are not well-documented, the finesse and skill apparent in his works suggest a sophisticated level of formal education in the arts. Specializing in animal portraiture, van Severdonck's paintings often showcase a peaceful coexistence of farm animals, depicted with a sense of harmony and tranquility that is both soothing and endearing. The painting is from 1862 and is no exception to his masterful approach. It features a vivid landscape inhabited by a proud rooster, attentive hens, and playful chickens. This particular piece conveys a simple yet vibrant farmyard scene, teeming with life and character. Each bird is portrayed with remarkable attention to detail, from the texture of their feathers to the intensity of their gaze, imbuing each with a distinct personality. The landscape itself is rendered with a pastoral charm, the clear sky and distant horizon line providing a perfect backdrop to the pastoral activity in the foreground. The naturalistic color palette and the delicate play of light and shadow enhance the overall sense of authenticity and bucolic beauty. Van Severdonck's ability to capture the essence of pastoral existence and his evident affection for his subjects are evident in this work. His paintings, though often modest in dimensions, are celebrated and coveted by collectors worldwide for their exquisite detail and the tranquil atmosphere they encapsulate. oil painting on wood panel signed and dated unframed 6.50 x 9.06 inches (16.5 x 23 cm) framed 10.83 x 13.19 inches (27,5 x 33,5 cm) Provenance: A Swedish private collection.

  • European Goldfinches, Taormina, By Swedish Artist Lindorm Liljefors
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    This exquisite painting by Lindorm Liljefors, the talented Swedish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor, is a testament to his profound connection with nature and his artistic lineage. Born on September 18, 1909, in Ytterjärna, Södermanland, and passing away on February 20, 1985, in Skyttorp, Uppsala County, Lindorm was the son of the renowned artist Bruno Liljefors. Educated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1928 to 1934, under the tutelage of Alfred Bergström and Wilhelm Smith, he honed his skills before embarking on study trips to France and Italy in 1934. Our painting "Goldfinches, Taormina" showcases a serene natural landscape, inspired by the picturesque scenery of Taormina, it captures the essence of Taormina's natural beauty, combining it with Liljefors' unique artistic perspective. The landscape is richly detailed with lush green grass, delicate flowers, and rugged stones. The focal point is two European goldfinches...
