Julien T’Felt Ghent 1874 – 1936 Antwerp Belgian Painter 'Nude Dressing' Signature: signed lower right ‘Julien t’Felt’ Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: image size 135 x 95 cm, frame size 155 x 116 cm Biography: Julien T’Felt Ghent 1874 – 1936 Antwerp Belgian Painter “Nude Dressing” Signature: signed lower right ‘Julien t’Felt’ Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: image size 135 x 95 cm, frame size 155 x 116 cm Biography: Julien t’Felt, born on 14 November 1874 in Ghent, was a Belgian Impressionist painter known for his depictions of animals, flowers, and still lifes in vibrant hues. He was also a draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and designer of wrought ironwork, silverware, and stained glass. Additionally, he gained fame as a poster designer. As the youngest son of Charles t’Felt, founder of the t’Felt printing house, he was introduced to graphic arts at an early age. At just five years old, he made his first drawings on lithographic stones in his father’s workshop. From 1888 to 1894, he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where he was taught by esteemed artists such as Charles Boom, Edward de Jans, Jan-Willem Rosier, Albert de Vriendt, and Karel Verlat. He specialized in portrait and animal drawings, often sketching animals at the Antwerp Zoo alongside J. Dupon and A. Colin. Later, his work expanded to include still lifes, landscapes, picturesque cityscapes, nudes, and floral compositions. During the First World War, t’Felt published satirical cartoons that forced him to flee to the Netherlands, where he took refuge with the sculptor Toon Dupuis. In 1915, he travelled via England to Le Havre and then to Rouen, where he painted portraits of British officers and war scenes. After the war, he returned to Antwerp to find his studio looted. T’Felt made his debut as a painter in 1894 at the Antwerp World Exhibition. Although he remained faithful to academic traditions, his greatest success lay in the applied arts. In 1897, he created twelve educational illustrations for the Royal Zoological Society and designed silverware for metalsmith Junes. He also worked in applied graphic design, created parades, flags, and heraldic symbols, and illustrated the Golden Book of the City of Antwerp multiple times. He became particularly well known as a designer of film posters. With the opening of Belgium’s first cinema on Brussels’ Noorderlaan in 1904, he produced posters that are now considered iconic in early Belgian film history. T’Felt’s works are held in print rooms in Antwerp, Brussels, and Paris, and in museums in cities including Bordeaux, Le Havre, Marseille, Rouen, and Buenos Aires. In Antwerp, his works can be found in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, the National Maritime Museum, and the Zoo. Julien t’Felt died on 14 February 1933 in Antwerp. His legacy lives on in numerous collections, including those of the Provincial Museum of Photography in Antwerp, the City Archives in Brussels, and the AMVC-Letterenhuis in Antwerp.

In 1886, during his studies, he won second Prize of Rome for Painting. Richir lived in Schaarbeek.

La Toilette - Post-Impressionist Nude Oil Painting by Georges D'Espagnat
By Georges d'Espagnat
Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Signed oil on original canvas nude circa 1914 by French post impressionist painter Georges D'espagnat. The work depict a nude woman standing beside a wash basin in a boudoir. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 45"x34" Unframed: 37"x26" Provenance: Private collection - Netherlands From the beginning of his career, it was a constant concern of Georges d'Espagnet to assert his originality. His studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, did not last very long, for he wanted immediate independence and decided to follow courses in the private academies of Montparnasse. In about 1900, he became acquainted with Maurice Denis, Bonnard and Vuillard, and his collaboration with Denis led to a renewal of religious art in France. In 1903, d'Espagnet was one of the founders of the Salon d'Automne, and was appointed professor in charge of studios at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1934. He illustrated a number of books: Rémy de Gourmont's Evil Prayers ( Oraisons mauvaises) (1896), The Saints of Paradise ( Les Saintes du paradis) (1898), Simone (1907), Sistine ( Sixtine) (1922); Alphonse Daudet's The Immortal ( L'Immortel) (1930); André Gide's The Pastoral Symphony ( La Symphonie pastorale); Francis Jammes' Clearings in the Sky ( Chairières dans le ciel) (1948). D'Espagnet belongs to the group of artists who made the Courrier Français so successful. The drawings of his which are published in it are strongly expressive and some bear comparison with the designs of the great Renaissance masters. He also contributed to L'Image. He often placed cheerful nudes in a landscape, reminding us that, though he moved away from the Fauves, he retained their freedom of colour and arabesque. He painted many portraits, including those of Albert André, André Barbier, Victor Boucher, Déodat de Séverac, Albert Marque, André Marty and Albert Roussel. He also painted mural decorations, including a wall for the Palais de la Découverte (1937), the ceiling of the Victor Hugo Room in the Palais du Luxembourg (1939), a decorative panel for the Palais de Justice, Toulouse (1941) and interior decorations for private houses. His landscapes are Impressionist in inspiration, and work for a certain sobriety, an intimacy, both in their composition - one, two or three sketched figures and large open spaces - and in the choice of colours and treatment with the special hazy brushstroke that marks his style. D'Espagnet took part in a number of annual Parisian exhibitions, including the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, the Salon d'Automne (from 1903 to 1949, except in special circumstances), the Salon de la Libre Ésthétique, Brussels (1899, 1901), the Berlin Secessionists (1940). He also exhibited at the first Salon de la Société de la Gravure sur Bois. Among other exhibitions were 1912, A Century of French Art ( Centenaire de l'art français), St Petersburg; 1916, Kunstverein, Winterthur; 1918, 1926, Galerie M. Bertheim, Paris; 1930, Contemporary French Art...
