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, Gehenne depicts two cowering skeletons as they languish at the gates of hell. This is an original oil on panel, signed, executed c.1918, set into the original artist frame.
