About the Item

Ketty Gilsoul-Hoppe Düsseldorf 1868 – 1939 Ixelles Belgian Painter 'A View of Bruges' Signature: Signed bottom right Medium: Aquarelle Dimensions: Image size 58 x 75 cm, frame size 71,50 x 88,50 cm Biography: Gilsoul-Hoppe Ketty, a distinguished Belgian painter renowned for her exquisite watercolor works, was born in Düsseldorf in 1868. She inherited a passion for the arts from her father, Edouard Hoppe, an accomplished engraver. Her artistic journey began at the Bisschoffsheim school in Brussels, where she honed her skills and developed a keen eye for capturing the nuances of light and color. In 1894, Ketty Gilsoul-Hoppe entered a lifelong partnership with the painter Victor Gilsoul, whom she married. This union marked a pivotal moment in her artistic career, as it became a source of inspiration and collaboration throughout her life. Gilsoul-Hoppe’s artistic repertoire encompassed interiors, landscapes, and cityscapes, each piece reflecting her mastery of the watercolor medium. One of her notable works, “Interior Hallway,” earned her recognition when it was featured in the 1905 publication “Women Painters of the World.” This anthology, curated by Walter Shaw Sparrow, celebrated the contributions of women artists from Caterina Vigri’s era to contemporary figures like Rosa Bonheur. In 1911, Gilsoul-Hoppe took a bold step in the art world by establishing the Galerie Lyceum in Brussels alongside fellow artists Berthe Art, Alice Ronner, Emma Ronner, Anna Boch, Louise Danse, Marie Danse, and Juliette Wytsman. This gallery served as a platform for promoting and showcasing the works of talented artists, contributing significantly to the cultural landscape of Brussels. Ketty Gilsoul-Hoppe’s legacy endures as a testament to her artistic prowess and her commitment to advancing the recognition of women in the arts. Her paintings continue to captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the beauty she found in the everyday scenes of interiors, landscapes, and city life. Through her pioneering efforts with the Galerie Lyceum, she left an indelible mark on the art world, inspiring future generations of artists to break barriers and pursue their creative visions.

Swans in the Park, Hans Volcker, Pyrzyce, Poland 1865 – 1944 Wiesbaden, Germany
Located in Bruges, BE
Swans in the Park Volcker Hans Pyrzyce, Poland 1865 – 1944 Wiesbaden, Germany German Painter Signature: Signed bottom left and dated 98 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 72 x 111,50 cm, frame size 84 x 120 cm Biography: Volcker Hans was born on October 12, 1865 in Pyrzyce, Poland. Hans was the son of a pastor, orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandfather. Hans Volcker was a painter of landscapes, seascapes, still lives and portraits. He also painted in watercolour and fresco techniques. In 1885, Volcker was a student of famed Norwegian realist painter Hans Fredrik Gude (1825 – 1903) at the Berlin Academy. His teacher encouraged him to travel to Scandinavia. During his study trips, he made landscape paintings of Scandinavian mountain and lakes, that brought him later great recognition. In 1891, he led his own plein air painting school. The most famous pupils were german sculptor and painter Margarethe Haeffner (1884 – 1977) and the painter Oskar Moll (1875 – 1947). With his Berlin friend painter Walter Leistikow (1865 – 1908), who was also a pupil of Gude, he shared an admiration for Max Liebermann (1847 – 1935). His acquaintance with Liebermann’s paintings furthered his stylistic development to an Impressionism. In 1894 he lived in Munich and moved to Wiesbaden in 1899, where he was active as a contemporary artist and as a member of the Art Societies, presenting Max Liebermann, Fritz Overbeck or Lovis Corinth, among others. Today, particular importance is attached to the “Dutch Secession” exhibition, featuring paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Jan Toorop. In 1912, the society showed paintings by Alexei Jawlensky...
