This captivating landscape is an enchanting portrayal of rustic tranquility, presented in a textured, post-impressionist style that evokes the sensory pleasures of the countryside. In the foreground, quaint cottages nestled amidst lush fields beckon with their warm, earthen tones, suggesting a serene retreat from the bustle of modern life. The natural scenery is alive with vibrant color, from the golden hues of the harvest-ready crops to the verdant greens of the foliage, all under a sky dotted with soft, cotton-like clouds in shades of orange and blue, suggesting the gentle close of a day.
The artwork is framed in a beautifully crafted, detailed wooden frame that complements the pastoral charm of the scene. This painting would not only be a visual feast for its owner but also a doorway to the timeless allure of the pastoral landscape, offering a daily escape into the arms of nature's serene embrace. It is a piece that would resonate with collectors who appreciate the beauty of the landscape and the skill of an artist who can capture the essence of the natural world on canvas.
The original frame is in good condition in general, but has some chips on the corners.
BIOGRAPHY:
Trained at Saint-Luc in Brussels. Began his career in 1942. Favored still lifes, interiors, figures, nudes, beach scenes, and landscapes. Initially worked in dark tones dominated by browns, somewhat in the style of Pierre Paulus and Martin Bollé. During this period, he drew inspiration from the world of the circus and the life of workers. Around 1955, his work became more luminous. His style evolved towards Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, with some forays into Pointillism. According to the press: "He paints what fascinates him: a beautiful nude, landscapes whether inhabited or not, stripped-down still lifes with fruits, flowers or sometimes a mirror, and especially a large number of portraits. The women he paints are elegant and wear pretty hats, as signs of their social class. Even when he paints a peasant woman, he cannot bring himself to portray her in an ugly way. He cares too much about beauty for that. Throughout his life, he painted workers, rugged men at work, whom he depicted in their individuality. This solitary figure is not someone who paints groups. He loves the forest, the sea, and children, preferably those playing in working-class neighborhoods." Exhibited at the "Le Régent" Gallery in Brussels in 1961 and 1963. Represented from 1988 to 1997 by the "Abac" Gallery in Brussels and since 1999 by the "K Gallery" and "Gallery 31" also in Brussels. Retrospective exhibition at the municipal hall of Schaerbeek in 1998 and at the "K Gallery" in 2000. Exhibited in 2000 by the "Le Bercail" Gallery in Izel-sur-Semois. A significant monograph on his work was published in 2003 by Art in Belgium Editions, Ohain-Lasne ("Robert Colot 1927-1993" by Didier Pasternoster, preface by Constantin Chariot").The original frame is in good condition in general, but has some chips on the corners.
