Elisabeth von Eicken (1862 - 1940)

One of the more renowned painters in Germany.

Besides beautiful oil on canvas landscapes (e.g. winters)

she made several watercolors as well. Birch trees often

were her favorites. She did some immaculate works

in the Alfred Sisley style whom she admired a lot.

This picture has never been taken out of its' frame

I'm planning to replace the back and place a piece of 

acid-free paper behind this watercolor to prevent any 

damage in the near future and to be able to make 

better pictures of course.

Here her signature which is immediately recognizable. 

Elisabeth von Eicken participated in the Ahrenshoop Art

collective situated near the Baltic sea and her workshop 

now is a beautiful  residence where art still plays an 

important role. Work on paper. Dimensions: 38 / 57 cm.

Adolf van Elstraete / Albert Embrechts

The river de Dijle taken from the Mechelsestraat in Leuven.

This Belgian painter lived from 1862-1939 so the situation

must have changed during the past century.

Oil on panel. Dimensions: 40 / 70 cm.

And of course the signature of this artist. Strange thing is that

his still lifes aren't that wanted but these city views (especially

from Leuven) is quite another story.

Albert Embrechts

Embrechts made a lot of flower oriented paintings.

His very realistic colours made him loved in Belgium.

Dimensions: 45 - 70 cm. 

Eric / Felix Eyskens / Dino Fantini

Better known under this name as a strip story artist

he also made drawings in his own way.

his own name was Van den Meulenbroeck.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 30 - 40 cm.

Felix Eyskens

Felix Eyskens was one of the pupils of Franz Courtens

and absolutely was a talented one. However he was often

a landscape painter while most people like city views

or paintings of the daily life with people and animals.

Paintings as presented here a quite scarce but he sure-

ly had the talent for it. Work on panel. Dimensions:

30 / 44 cm.

And a picture of his signature mostly better readable.

A small oilpainting on board by this Belgium artist.

This landscape looks like a simple work by this artist.

However when you examine it more closely it has been

done with a lot of craftsmanship. All brush strikes are

spot on! Work on board. Dimensions: 25 / 25 cm.

Dino Fantini

A very intriguing painting regarding the subtle color

effects. Therefore I've included some details as well.

Also the light has been catched very credible.

The subtle colour accents can be found everywhere.

Probably that is the last move on his paintings as

some colours can be found exactly in different

spots in this painting.

The moisture with the water simply is there but

the sophistication is remarkable.

The signature surprisingly shows the prefix P but the

overall style is so convincing it has to be from Dino

Fantini. Work on canvas. Dimensions: 50 / 60 cm.

Eugene Fehdmer / Adrienne Feremans / Theodore Feucht

While we like the skills of the two Fehdmer

brothers we keep investigating in their art.

Especially the birch trees are a speciality

of this german born watercolourist.

Work on paper. Dimensions 30 / 40 cm.

We recently obtained this watercolour that has been

signed clearly lower left: E. Fehdmer Bruxelles 1891.

The next one has been sold to us by an auction house

being a genuine Eugene Fehdmer. Seeing this

work we really doubt that.

Work on paper. Dimensions 25 - 35 cm.

This watercolour comes out of the belgium period of this artist

from Germany. Together with his better known brother Richard

they produced a lot of landscapes, often in the surroundings

of Antwerp. Work on paper. Dimensions: 35 - 45 cm.

Adrienne Feremans

Much in the style of Depuits, Feremans delivers a

fine piece of impressionistic art to us. Oil on board.

There were some doubts about who was the artist as there is an 

Adolf Feremans and an Adrienne Feremans but why starting

a signature with Ant: The explanations lies in the fact that this 

painting must have been produced in Antwerp. Strange

thing in the signature of Adrienne Feremans is the point

placed after the first prefix "F". It is present here too!

Theodore Feucht ( 1867 - 1944 )

A lot of work left to be done on this painting but it is a challenge 

of course! There is a certain kind of freshness to it and the

color green especially is present in different tones. After some

work you can already see the progress in the second picture.

The sky remains a strange move in this painting however…

Location: The city "Sonthofen" in Allgau (Germany)

Oil on cardboard. Dimensions: 50 / 68 cm.

No doubt about it: Unmistakable Theodore Feucht.

Louis Garin / J.J. Garjeanne / Victor Gaspar / Simon van Gelderen

This painting bears no signature but has been stamped by the

art expert and auctionneer Catherine Charbonneaux who lives

and works in France. I recently had contact with her and

this is what she wrote:

Dear sir, dear madam,

Thank you for your message. It is me who has sold the studio of painter Garin.

This painting was in this auction and the stamp attests. But I have no

more information about the location or the year of realization.

Thank you for writing. Best regards Catherine Charbonneaux

Here you are able to study this particular stamp exclusively

made for the paintings coming out of Garins' atelier.

Work on cardboard. Dimensions: 30 / 40 cm.

J.J. GARJEANNE 1860 - 1930

Quite exclusive as this dutch painter is more known for his watercolours.
Moreover the dimensions of this work are rare: 110 - 85 cm.
Though watercolours faint during their lifetime due to the sunlight
this painting has kept the freshness of being made yesterday.
His works are often assumed to be dated but in this work
the subtlety of the colours is astonishing, almost like
the English painter William Blake but translated to the
Dutch winterlandscapes. Oil on canvas.

A rather small work: Oil on panel.

And of course one of his watercolours
in his immediately recognizable style.

Victor Gaspar

A nice view that is called "Coin rustique a Baveno".

This village is situated at the south point of the Lago Maggiore.

At first sight it isn't evident that this is craftsmanship but

a more detailed inspection makes it obvious it in fact

is a well done work with the light the shadow parts

and the specific housecolours that are present there.

We found this label on the back and think it to be done

in the sixties or seventies, so a later work by this artist.

Besides sea- and landscapes, Gaspar did still lifes as well!

A simple signature but allways useful by determining his 

genuine works. Oil on canvas. Dimensions:  25 / 33 cm.

Simon van Gelderen

Frans van Genesen / George Georoy / Adolf Gerhard / Piet Gillis

Frans van Genesen

This artist allways has a very rich use of colours

that sometimes results in a little disturbing

overall view.

Not with this painting that has the right atmosphere.

Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 50 - 80 cm.

George Georoy

Georges Rausenberger (1906-1983) ( = Georoy )
This Belgian painter and archtict was married to
Irene Bataille who is also a well known paintress.
It is logical that Georges Rausenberger was inte-
rested in buildings but we still have to investigate
where this scenery is situated. Our guess is Italy.
Oil on board. Dimensions: 30 / 40 cm.

Adolf Gerhard

A German painter who worked in different countries.

In this streetview of Naarden he went back to the Middle Ages.

Oil on Canvas. Dimensions: 60 / 80 cm.

Piet Gillis

This mixed media work has been signed with a 

monogramme. As it is most likely a belgium work

the initials are pointing towards Piet Gillis partly

because of the caracteristic prefix G. Though we

are not certain the quality simply is present as

the artist used carcoal, watercolour and pencil

and created a nostalgic atmosphere with it.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 15 / 20 cm

Victor Gilsoul / Goats /

Victor Gilsoul

A somewhat forgotten artist but Gilsoul proved to be

the most succesful artist around 1920 in Belgium,

This is an earlier work. His palette became a

lot brighter later in his career.

Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 30 - 40 cm

Goats

A non readable signature but a

nice work anyway. Oil on board.

If anyone is familiar with this signature,

please let me know who the artist is.

Jack Godderis / Goethals / Paul Gomze

Jacques Godderis ( 1916 - 1971)

We bought this portrait being anonymous. However after

some investigations we could conclude it is one of a few

self portraits he made during his life time. And what

often is remarkable: Colors differ just by looking at

it from a different angle.

This detail gives some insight in how he builds up

his face and borders it with thick colorful lines.

Work on canvas. Dimensions: 70 / 83 cm.

And of course his signature: Just "Godderis".

Albert Goethals Sr.  (1885 - 1973)

This painter from Bruges (Belgium) worked a lot

in his town of birth. A lot of painters were inspired

by this beautiful historic city. Albert Goethals in

fact made a whole serie of etchings from all kind

of spots in his native town as did hisson later on.

Work on Canvas. Dimensions: 70 / 90 cm.

This painting is all about the light and the contrast

of it when sunlight was playing alongside the houses

As the light clearly comes from the opposite this

side of the bridge reflects in a very dark way.

And his signature of course. Changing a bit over time.

Paul Gomze

This watercolor we acquired for very little. Sometimes

it is a mystery for us how it can be possible that other

people are simply not interested as it is quality to

our believe. This artist hasn't been mentioned in the

registered works of Paul Piron but auction results in 

the past are proving he should have been.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 33 / 43 cm.

At first we saw an "R"  as the first prefix. By a better observation

it appears that we should have read a "P" what makes it complete: 

Paul Gomze, in fact a member from a whole family of artists.
