AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Monogrammed, dated and located (at the Pointe de Pen-Hir in Camaret, France) on the reverse
Oil on panel, in good condition, with very minor paint losses
Beautiful period frame, 53 x 63 cm
Frans Smeers (Brussels[1], January 28, 1873 – Brussels, June 1, 1960), whose full name was François, Emile, Isidore, Léopold Smeers, was a Belgian draftsman and painter.
He painted many portraits, including those of painter friends and members of his family—his wife and four daughters. A lover of nature, he was often inspired by the landscapes of the North Sea, particularly those around Nieuwpoort and Ostend. He painted many bright, colorful beach scenes.
Throughout his career, he exhibited at numerous salons, mostly in Brussels, but also in Ghent, Ostend, Barcelona, Brighton, Geneva, London, Munich (where he received a gold medal in 1913), Paris (notably at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salons of the Société nationale des beaux-arts), and the Venice Biennale... Several retrospectives have been devoted to him, the most recent at the Rouge-Cloître Art Center in 1997.
Works in museums in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Ixelles, and The Hague.
