Oil on canvas Signed lower right: “Gustave De Smet” “Geese going into the Leie,” by Gustave De Smet captures a serene moment in the Belgian countryside. The painting invites viewers to witness a simple yet captivating scene: three geese making their way towards the Leie River.

Animated landscape with a river Oil on panel Signature central below Dimensions: 37 x 66 cm, 55 x 77 cm (framed) THE ARTWORK This painting by Kerstiaen de Keuninck presents an expansive imaginary landscape, filled with lush trees, rolling hills, and distant vistas bathed in a theatrical play of light. Dominated by a large central tree, the composition draws the viewer’s eye toward the glowing horizon, which adds depth and a sense of mystery to the scene. The landscape is populated with small figures and buildings, providing scale and inviting the viewer into the serene yet intricate world De Keuninck has created. De Keuninck’s landscapes are characterized by a dramatic use of light and shadow, lending a sense of atmosphere and grandeur to otherwise pastoral settings.

He drew significant inspiration from Roelant Savery, Joos de Momper...
