AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Attractive landscape by the Belgian painter Théodore Fourmois (Presles, 14 October 1814 – Ixelles, 16 October 1871). Fourmois is regarded as one of the most important forerunners of 19th-century Belgian landscape painting and a precursor of the School of Tervuren.
He began as a draughtsman and lithographer in the workshop of Antoine Dewasme-Pletinckx in Brussels and largely trained himself as a painter. From 1836, when he successfully exhibited at the Brussels Salon, he devoted himself entirely to landscapes. He painted the Ardennes and the Campine (especially around Genk) and, during travels through the Dauphiné and Switzerland, made studies and panoramic views directly from nature. Influenced by the Barbizon School and the 17th-century Dutch landscape tradition (notably Meindert Hobbema), he introduced a more realistic, plein-air approach to nature in Belgium. He participated in the Paris Universal Expositions of 1855 and 1867 and was awarded the Order of Leopold (Knight in 1851, Officer in 1863).
Works by Fourmois are held in major collections including the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (Brussels), the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, the Musée de l’Art wallon in Liège, and the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg.
