About the Item

Binje Frans Luik 1835 – 1900 Brussels Belgian Painter 'A Path in the Forest' Signature: signed lower right Dimensions: image size 36 x 22 cm, frame size 49 x 35,50 cm Medium: oil on canvas Biography: Binjé Frans (Binjé François) was born on October 10, 1835, in Liège. He was a Belgian Impressionist painter, watercolourist, draughtsman and pastel artist. He generally worked in Brabant, the Ardennes, and Belgian coast. He painted views of the North Sea, especially in watercolours. His earliest paintings date from 1855. They were landscapes, mainly views of the region around Namur. He had to give up most of his artistic activities and restarted these around 1875, after having taken lessons from landscape painter Henri van der Hecht (1841 – 1901). In the years 1875-90, he was most productive. Firstly, as a watercolourist, from 1880 started to paint oil paintings. During the period of 1868-1880, he regularly spent the summer months with other well-known landscape painters, where they painted landscapes situated at the confluence of the Meuse and the Lesse. He also visited the Limburg Campine, and in particular the artists’ village of Genk, which had become his personal favourite location since the 1850. His first exhibition was in 1876. He took part in the exhibition ‘Blanc et Noir’ in 1886, in the Brussels Salon 1896-98, in the ‘Société des Aquarellistes’ in 1899-1900, in the ‘Cercle Artistique’ in 1901, in Gent in 1889, in the World Fair in 1894; exhibitions in Berlin 1896, Belgian pavilion at the Paris World Fair 1900, ‘Art Belge’ in Brussels. He belonged to the Tervueren School, both through his master teacher and by his evident desire to know all the details of nature. Realist by nature, he was less descriptive than Belgian painters Degreef Jean-Batiste (1852 - 1894), Verheyden Isidore (1846 - 1905) and on many occasions tried to interpret his subject according to his elegiac or melancholic character. He held the role of second-generation realistic landscape artists, which was firstly led by French painter Crépin Louis - Philippe ( 1772 - 1851). Binjé Frans was an expert of warm chalk tones, skillfully applied with full brush strokes. The shades of his colours are excellent, in which the mists of morning and the languid airs of autumn make a cover for inaccurate lines and wavering colours. He died on May 10, 1900, in Brussels (Schaarbeek). Today, his work can be found in numerous important private and public collections, including museums in Brussels, Antwerp, Gent, Courtrai, Liège, and Verviers.

A Forest in Winter by Hendrik Barend Koekkoek (Amsterdam 1849 – 1909 London)
Located in Knokke, BE
Hendrik Barend Koekkoek Amsterdam 1849 – 1909 London Dutch Painter 'Figures Strolling through a Forest in Winter' Signature: signed lower right 'H B Koekkoek', c. 1882-1900 Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: image size 76,5 x 64 cm, frame size 103 x 89,5 cm Biography: Hendrik Barend Koekkoek, often signing as Hendrik Barend (H.B.) Koekkoek, in the realm of 19th-century art, emerges as a captivating painter born in Amsterdam on November 23, 1849. A scion of the esteemed Koekkoek family, he gained renown for his landscapes and woodland scenes, following in the artistic footsteps of his father, marine painter Hermanus Koekkoek. Barend Hendrik Koekkoek’s life unfolds with a certain mystery, his artistic journey shaped by training from his father and, likely, his uncle Marinus Adrianus. In 1878, he tied the knot with Carolina Allardina Cornelia Pierson and ventured into the artistic scenes of Hilversum and Brussels, simultaneously opening an art dealership in Amsterdam. Around 1882, the call of London beckoned, echoing the path paved by his brother Hermanus Koekkoek the Younger. In England, he painted landscapes near Guildford, akin to his cousin Pieter Hendrik Koekkoek. The latter part of his life remains shrouded in obscurity. Barend Hendrik Koekkoek’s artistic style, steeped in the romantic tradition of the Koekkoek family, adorned canvases with landscapes, woodlands, and marine scenes. His London sojourn witnessed the creation of winter landscapes with towering trees, showcased in exhibitions across Dutch cities. He breathed his last in London before 1909. His artistic legacy lives on in institutions like the Paul Tétar van...
