About the Item
Brussels: Belgium. De Brouckere Square and the Jules Anspach Obelisk
by Leonard Machin Rowe (1880-1968)
signed lower left
watercolour painting on artist's paper, unframed
Sheet: 9.75 x 13.75 inches
Delightful painting by Leon. Rowe. It is inscribed extensively to the back, some of it indistinctly, and dated June 50, however the location is unquestionable as De Brouckere Square. The obelisk which was dedicated to Jules Anspach in 1897 (Mayor of the city in the late 19th century), has since been removed - taken down in 1973 as part of the metro station developments in Brussels and re-erected in 1981 elsewhere in the city. The very grand building is the Hotel Continental built in 1874.
The scene is busy with figures and carts. Belgium and Luxembourg were two of Rowe's favourite destinations for his painting trips overseas. Often incorporating figures into his work, his style is very similar to Thomas Morley's paintings of French and Belgian market town scenes.
This one is signed front lower left and again on the back with the inscription. This work forms part of a watercolour collection we currently hold by Rowe.
Known as Leon Rowe, the artist was born in Staffordshire, England, in Christmas week of 1880. His career and business involved in him interior decoration, and the design and painting of theatre production stage scenery. He had a love of painting in watercolour for his own pleasure and the collection of work we currently hold by this artist shows exemplary skill. In his later years he was able to travel to Europe where much of his post war work was executed, although examples of his paintings are recorded as early as 1914, when he would have been around 25 years old. His earlier work shows his signature as Leon Rowe but the majority he signed as L M Rowe - as is the case here. He passed away in 1968.
condition report:
No tears or creases. There are two faint foxing marks in the upper right sky section, just above the building with the domed cupola. Edges of sheet bear slight discolouration but image is clean and with good colour.

Leonard Machin Rowe
Leon Rowe was born in central England, during Christmas week in 1880. His career and business involved him in interior decoration, and the design and painting of theatre production stage scenery. He had a love of painting in watercolour for his own pleasure, and his work shows exemplary skill. In his later years, Rowe was able to travel to Europe where much of his postwar work was executed, although examples of his paintings are recorded as early as 1914, when he would have been around 25 years old. His earlier work shows his signature as Leon Rowe but the majority he signed as L M Rowe. He passed away in 1968.

Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...Category
