Waterschoot

A. Waterschoot (20th century) was a highly regarded painter from the province of Antwerp, known for his technically refined still lifes, landscapes, and interior scenes. His work is characterized by a classical painting style, warm color harmony, and exceptional attention to light effects and material effects — especially in metal and textile reflections.

Waterschoot was regarded in his region as a master painter, and his oeuvre is still strongly collected today. He regularly exhibited in Antwerp art circles, and his still lifes are appreciated for their timeless elegance and craftsmanship.

Due to the rising demand for traditional realistic Belgian art, its works have clearly increased in value over the past few years, making them not only highly decorative but also a solid art investment.
