The figure looks real, his eyes are directed at the wall plate, that he holds with care. The clothing is painted delicately, colours are so velvety. The setting is balanced and the objects on the table shape a beautiful still life. Brunin studied the technique of the Old masters, especially Rembrandt tremendously influenced his work. Today, Brunin’s work can be found in museums in Antwerp (Belgium), Munich (Germany) and Chicago (Illinois, USA). Biography: Brunin Leon, also was born on November 20 in 1861 in Antwerp. He was a Belgian painter of genre scenes, interiors, landscapes and animals. He was also a fine sculptor and used the pseudonyms of Demeuter and de Meuter of Meutter. As a young child, he introduced to sculpture at “L’Academie des Beaux Arts” in Antwerp and became the favorite student of the renowned sculpturer, Frans Joris. As a young man, Brunin abandoned sculpture in order to concentrate on painting. He started under the direction of Polydore Beaufaux and after that, became an important student and protégé of the world-renowned artist and teacher, Charles Verlat. Brunin was a founder of the “Aze ick can” circle. Brunin exhibited in 1880 and continued to exhibit extensively throughout Belgium and Holland for several decades. He exhibited also in Paris, Philadelphia, Munich, Chicago, Bordeaux and Liverpool. During a voyage to Holland, Brunin was permitted to study the technique of old masters, especially Rembrandt which tremendously influenced his work.
