Op de Schelde, an oil painting by Romain Steppe (1900–1910), Belgium, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
Romain Steppe (Antwerp, January 11, 1859 - there, November 28, 1927) was a Belgian painter, a realist painter of river landscapes and seascapes.
Romain Steppe was the son of a shipowner in the port of Antwerp and was twenty when he chose an artistic career. He was a pupil of E. Van Hoorde, Charles Boland and Isidore Meyers
Especially the sea and the harbor inspired him in his early works, while he discovered a new source of inspiration during his wanderings with Isidoor Meyers in the Scheldt region. He had a preference for atmospheric scenes in small formats. He also painted in the Limburg Kempen, on the Belgian coast and during his travels through England, France and the Netherlands.
He returned to Antwerp in 1887, where in 1888 he became a member of the art association "Als ik Kan", founded by a number of former students of the Antwerp Academy. He painted many atmospheric scenes in small formats in this city.
There are also marine paintings on ivory known of him. Romain Steppe exhibited all over the world.
Dimensions of the work with frame: 51 x 59 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 24 x 32 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. Additionally we have our own in-house framing shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary.
