Edward Antoon Portielje
Dutch riverlandscape with windmill, impressionist, oil on panel, double signed

About the Item

Edward Antoon Portielje (1861 - 1949), C.H. Hermans, possibly his second wife Rosa Hermans Dutch riverlandscape with windmill Signed upperleft corner 'Edward Portielje' and lowerright corner C.H. Hermans 1880 Oil on panel Dimensions excl. frame: 17 x 26 cm. Dimensions incl. frame: 34 x 43 cm. Edward Antoon Portielje (8 February 1861, Antwerp – 18 December 1949, Antwerp) was a Belgian genre painter. He was born to the painter Jan Portielje and his wife Eulalie (née Lemaire, 1828–1903). His older brother, Gerard, was also a genre painter. His first art lessons came from his father. Then he attended the Royal Atheneum and, from 1873, took after-school classes at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts with Edward Dujardin. From 1877 to 1881, he was a full-time student at the Academy under the tutelage of Polydore Beaufaux, Charles Verlat and Nicaise de Keyser. He was married twice, first to Jeanne Marie Cochet and then, in 1888, to Rosa Hermans, with whom he had a son. During World War I he lived in Brussels, returning to Antwerp in 1919. For a short time, style and choice of subject matter ran parallel to those of his brother Gerard. But Edward Portielje developed his own touch with fine and precise work and use of his own themes. He found his inspiration mainly in fishing circles in Zeeland. They are traditional inn scenes or living rooms enlivened with one, two, four or even more characters. They are often domestic scenes with mothers with children, lacemakers, women chatting coffee around a table, lovers, etc., all in the local costumes that were still common at the time. In addition to these genre paintings, he also painted marines. All in all, a rather stereotypical body of work. A tight, realistic touch gradually gave way to looser brushwork and a moderately impressionistic approach. He cleverly played with the lighting effects of the daylight that enters the rooms through open or half-closed windows. Portielje rarely collaborated with other artists. For the sale of his paintings, he relied on the intervention of the art dealers Albert D'Huyvetter and then mainly on Guillaume Campo. Both before and after the First World War they had a contract. During the interwar period, this applied to the entire production for which Campo was the only representative, worldwide. In 1894, he worked together with Edouard de Jans and Joseph Dierickx to create murals for the Exposition Internationale d'Anvers. (Wikipedia)

"A Family of Four On Cross Highway" impasto oil painting of trees in landscape
By Emily Persson
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
"A Family of Four On Cross Highway" is a contemporary impressionist view of a tree scene on the East End of Long Island, New York. The impasto style of this painting brings the leaves and bark of these trees to life. A classic Hamptons style house can be seen in the back right corner behind more trees and shrubbery, and the pale blue sky contrasting with the natural color of the house. The bright and deep greens in this piece make this a joyful and charming impasto painting by the artist Emily Persson. Emily Persson is a Melbourne based artist who has been creating oil paintings with a palette knife for three years. Emily is a multi-generational artist with roots in Brisbane, Australia. Although an avid hobbyist painter her whole life, Emily found her style and her new career in 2016 when she began painting landscape, seascape and floral still-life paintings inspired by her surrounds in Queensland. Emily decided in late 2017 that she would give away a successful corporate office job and pursue her life long dream of becoming a full time artist. She relocated to South Yarra in Melbourne and immediately began exhibiting across Australia at galleries such as the Moree Gallery and Satch & Co. Emily participated in many group exhibitions and fundraisers in 2018 including multiple shows in Melbourne, New South Wales and Queensland. Emily has gained most of her notoriety from her popularity on Instagram where she has close to twelve thousand followers. Emily’s art has trended worldwide on social media and she has become a pioneer and mentor for other artists trying to find their online groove. Emily has drawn the eye of some of Australia’s most sought after interior designers including Thomas Hamel, Nina Provan, Lauren Li and has had her work displayed in some of Australia’s biggest lifestyle magazines including Belle and Country Style. Influenced by master artists such as Frederick McCubbin and Arthur Streeton and by the contemporaries such as Prudence Flint and Rick Amor...
