About the Item

Belgian Symbolist artist Jan Frans DeBoever (1872 - 1948), created symbolist/allegorical paintings throughout his lifetime. He centralized on allegorical and literary subjects, generally depicting the constant struggle of good vs. evil. This is consistently reflected by images of beautiful women interacting with skeletons, gargoyles and demons. An original oil on panel, Dedale depicts a beautiful adorned woman staring into her mirror admiring her beauty, which is fleeting, as shown by death silently waiting for her behind the curtain with a single candle burning. A painting commenting on just how short life is and that everything, even beauty, fades with the passing of time. This is an original oil on panel, signed, executed c.1920.
