Paris / Jef de Pauw (II)

Paris

Another non-signed painting of Paris

For sure a Paris streetscene as the green column is a

typical thing for Paris. They are called the "Colomne Morris",

named after Morris who got permission to place 150

examples of them in 1868. Originally columns for advertisements

and later the announcement of  shows and later films. 

Thus wild paste was avoided. Some were hollow and were also 

used as storage space for the street sweepers or contain a urinal. 

Sometimes they were expanded for small book and

newspaperstores. Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 35 / 50 cm.

Jef de Pauw

There are two painters called Jef de Pauw. This a work by

the younger one in the style of Gustaaf and Leon de Smet.

This way of working was later called "Lathemse School"
Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 50 / 60 cm.
