About the Item

Georges Maroniez Douai 1865 – 1933 Paris French Painter Sunset Signature: Signed bottom right Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 54,50 x 81,50 cm, frame size 81 x 107 cm "Sunset" is a fine example of a Flemish realisme maritime painting of fisherman's life that captures the magnetic beauty of Brittany, France at the ocean sunset. Maroniez painted the romantic scene at sundown, applying a bright, caressing light and bringing the peacefulness and serenity that beauty evokes. Biography: Maroniez Georges Philibert Charles, born on January 17, 1865 in Douai, France. He was a French painter of genre scenes and landscapes. Martinez was especially noted for his depictions of the sea and life of the fisher folk. While attending law school, he also took courses at the École des Beaux-Arts of Douai and became a student of Pierre Billet. He met the painter Adrien Demont. He became a student of the master teachers and artists Mr. & Mrs. Demont-Breton. At the age of 22 he started exhibiting peasant genre and landscape scenes in Douai and Paris. Maroniez exhibited quite successfully at the Salon des Artists Français and was elected a full member in 1889. The Salon awarded him an honorable mention and third place medal in 1891 and a second-place medal in 1906. Maroniez also became interested in photography and he travelled throughout the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East. He took over 1.600 images that are in the collection of the museum in Cambrai. In 1905, the success of his paintings led him to resign from the judiciary, and to devote himself entirely to Art. Defying the label of “marine painter”, he filled his genre scene paintings with Flemish realism. Using a glowing and a beautifully caressing light, he transposed the grey country roads of his birthplace with light and painted powerful landscapes. He painted also ports of Brittany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as numerous scenes of the fisherman’s life, especially at twilight or night. He captured the alluring beauty of an ocean sunset, and the peacefulness that beauty and light can give. In August 1914, Maroniez was drafted into Military Justice. In 1918 he was created a Knight of the Légion d’Honneur. During the German occupation of North-East France, his studio was robbed, and his wife was deported, with hundreds of other French civilian hostages, to camp in Lower Saxony. The family was reunited only after the ceasefire and in 1919 they relocated in Paris. His works became very popular. He subsequently took most of his inspiration from Brittany. He died of a heart attack in 1933 and was buried in Cambrai, France. Today, his works can be found in private and public collections, including at the Museum in Lille, Cambrai, Douai, Boulogne (France) and in Valencia (Spain).

Hendrik Barend Koekkoek Amsterdam 1849 – 1909 London Dutch Painter 'Figures Strolling through a Forest in Winter' Signature: signed lower right 'H B Koekkoek', c. 1882-1900 Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: image size 76,5 x 64 cm, frame size 103 x 89,5 cm Biography: Hendrik Barend Koekkoek, often signing as Hendrik Barend (H.B.) Koekkoek, in the realm of 19th-century art, emerges as a captivating painter born in Amsterdam on November 23, 1849. A scion of the esteemed Koekkoek family, he gained renown for his landscapes and woodland scenes, following in the artistic footsteps of his father, marine painter Hermanus Koekkoek. Barend Hendrik Koekkoek’s life unfolds with a certain mystery, his artistic journey shaped by training from his father and, likely, his uncle Marinus Adrianus. In 1878, he tied the knot with Carolina Allardina Cornelia Pierson and ventured into the artistic scenes of Hilversum and Brussels, simultaneously opening an art dealership in Amsterdam. Around 1882, the call of London beckoned, echoing the path paved by his brother Hermanus Koekkoek the Younger. In England, he painted landscapes near Guildford, akin to his cousin Pieter Hendrik Koekkoek. The latter part of his life remains shrouded in obscurity. Barend Hendrik Koekkoek’s artistic style, steeped in the romantic tradition of the Koekkoek family, adorned canvases with landscapes, woodlands, and marine scenes. His London sojourn witnessed the creation of winter landscapes with towering trees, showcased in exhibitions across Dutch cities. He breathed his last in London before 1909. His artistic legacy lives on in institutions like the Paul Tétar van...
