About the Item

Instantly recognisable as the master of still life painting in Antwerp, Willem Dolphyn has created some of the finest canvases ever produced in this historic city over the last eighty years. Demonstrating the sheer technical virtuosity in the handling of light, texture and atmosphere, his works contain a rich purity which sets them apart from others. Willem gained a great deal of experience and professional knowledge from his father Victor, who was a teacher at the Academy and the founder of the new Classic School of Traditional painting. This developed Willem’s keen understanding of composition, detail and colour. Throughout Willem’s life he has undertaken many excursions, visiting the countries of the Middle and Far East - Thailand, Nepal, Tibet, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and North and South America. A childhood dream was fulfilled when he visited the Dayaks in Borneo. The Eastern way of life, the atmosphere, the calm and sobriety that he found there, Willem bought back to his studio and to his house in Antwerp, which accommodates his impressive collection of armour, swords, carvings, stone and bronze hatchets. Willem also enjoys sailing and visiting his house in France near Walter, his son.
