AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Antwerp sea painter Maurice Seghers (1883-1959) was born into an artistic family. Unlike his father - the shipbroker/sea painter Henri Seghers Jr. (1848-1919) - he was allowed to attend the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Starting from 1892, he spent summers with his parents at the family villa 'De Schuit' in the then-village of Knokke. Here, he became acquainted with the local fishing industry.
The Heist and Blankenberge ships still landed on the beach every day. After his training at the Antwerp Academy, he regularly stayed in Nieuwpoort from 1908 onwards. The entire Flemish coast exerted a great attraction on the young Seghers. He found much inspiration in the harbors of Oostende and Zeebrugge, with their daily arriving and departing fishing boats.
During World War I he stayed in Southwestern England, in Barnstaple at the mouth of the River Taw.
He developed into a talented impressionist realist, painting with a bold handwriting and a bright southern color palette. Besides being a painter of oil paintings, gouaches, and watercolors, he worked as a documentary draftsman and etcher of the slowly but surely disappearing professional sailing. Additionally, he was an excellent ship model builder and was closely involved in the founding of the National Maritime Museum in Antwerp in 1952.
