Henri Thomas
Still Life with Flowers

1910

About the Item

Henri Thomas is remembered as the quintessential Belgian painter of La Belle Epoque. His images of women from the cafés, bars and bordellos of Brussels are some of the most haunting produced at the time and rival those of Toulouse Lautrec for their exactitude and sense of feeling. In this example however, dating to around 1910, Henri Thomas has chosen to paint a simple floral piece. These ‘Nature-Morte’ compositions are extremely rare amongst his oeuvre and are highly prized for their delicate coloring and subtle paint handling. A similar flower-piece is illustrated in the Dictionary of Belgian Flower Painters by Patrick Berko. Henri Thomas was born in the town of Saint-Jans-Molenbeek in 1878 and at the age of seventeen enrolled at the Academy of Brussels. Here he received a classical training in the arts specializing in painting and etching. Graduating in 1898 he established a studio in Brussels and for a few years worked predominantly as a book illustrator producing delicate line drawings for some of Belgium’s most important avant-garde authors. By the very early years of the new century he had become primarily an easel painter and his work was gaining wide popularity as a result of his participation in the exhibitions of the Salon du Cercle Artistique de Bruxelles in 1905 and again in 1909. For the next forty years he exhibited widely throughout Belgium and various other European cities where his work was always highly prized and collected. Henri Thomas died in Brussels in 1972 but his paintings can be seen today in Belgium at the museums of Liege and Brussels. Framed - 32 x 28 Inches Unframed - 24 x 20 Inches

  • Jules Elie Peonies by Katharine Rowe floral painting of peonies
    By Katharine Rowe
    Located in London, GB
    Katharine spent a long time mixing paint to reach the right level of smokiness and avoid any saccharine pink in these peonies. They seem to be quite solid but at the same time quite delicate, they are a joy to paint. Katharine Rowe is an English painter she graduated in Fine Art and History of Art at the University of Edinburgh in 1999 and spent a year studying at Université de la Sorbonne, Paris. Having spent a decade working in advertising Katharine felt the increasing need to be out of the office and with her paintbrush. The past 9 years have been dedicated to just that. Katharine is strongly motivated by colour and she often spends up to an hour mixing and preparing paints before turning to the canvas. Katharine is always inspired by her surroundings from the varied landscapes of London...
