Emile Thysebaert
"Notre Dame Place du Parvis" Parisian Street Scene with Notre Dame Oil Painting

Mid-20th Century

About the Item

This painting is a tremendously vivid and alive street scene of the Place du Parvis in Paris from the 20th Century by Emile Thysebaert. We can see the figures and cars fill the street at Notre Dame in the distance. The use of fast brushwork is noted, and precise attention to detail. An absolutely great work of the times, capturing an ever so fleeting moment from over a century ago. The painting is signed lower right and it comes housed in a beautiful gold tone wood frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 9.5 x 13 inches Frame measures 14 x 17.5 inches Emile Thysebaert was a born in Gent, Belgium on 4 June 1873 and he was known for his impressionistic street scenes depicting popular locations in Europe. Thysebaert was a post-impressionist Belgian figurative painter and etcher whose theme was very diverse: marginals, alcoholics, folk people, workmen, market squares, horse markets, balls, processions, draft horses, fishermen. He found many of his subjects in the Marolles . In the later years he also painted images of Mechelen, the dunes in Oostduinkerke and Koksijde, the height of the Dudenpark, Neerpede, etc. He used powerful brush strokes and striking colors. If his colorite was rather gloomy in the beginning, it became more colorful after his trip to Italy. He was not influenced by the prevailing art movements, but always worked in his own realistic style and with a strong social commitment. Thysebaert became a member of the artists' group “Le Sillon”, whose fellow members included Willem Paerels , Louis Thevenet , Georges Van Zevenberghen, Louise Brohée, Arthur Navez and J. Tordeur. He also became a member of "Labeur" and participated in the salons of "Labeur" among others in 1903 and 1904. His works were displayed in several exhibitions including: Brussels, hall of the University in 1901; Salon in Ghent in 1903; Brussels, Galerie Royale in 1917; Brussels, Galerie Kodak in 1927 and 1929 among many others. In 1914, Thysebaert went to live in Schaerbeek. In 1921, the couple undertook a trip to southern France and Italy. During this trip he made many sketches. He was appointed Knight in the Order of Leopold in 1920 and finally as Officer in the Order of Leopold in 1961. Emile Thysebaert died in Anderlecht Belgium on 2 February 1963 and in 1964 was held a retrospective exhibition at the Maison des Arts in Schaerbeek with around 60 canvases of his works.
