About the Item

A superb Belgian naïf masterpiece depicting figures on a boat tour of the Caves of Han (Grottes de Han) in Southern Belgium. Visitors to the ancient caves used to exit by way of a short boat ride, which is what is depicted in this work, That exit route was replaced by a bridge in 2009. The work is signed "G. van Bael" lower right and dated 1985. As with many naïf artists we have not been able to find any information about G. van Bael, but their illustrations were once used on Neuhaus Belgian chocolate tins.

The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naifs'' which is known as the bible of 20th century naif painters. The work is signed lower left and presented in it's original gallery frame.

In order to have more time to paint, however, he became a factory cook and later a foreman in the same factory.

He is a sensitive and delicate artist, especially when depicting Parisian suburbs, of which he has caught the atmosphere remarkably. He also painted numerous snow landscapes.
