Théo van Rysselberghe - L’Escaut en amont d’Anvers, le soir [1892]
This work was executed at the height of van Ryssleberghe’s artistic powers and is one his acknowledged masterpieces. The artist’s complete mastery of the pointillist technique is fully evident in this visually dazzling work, and is further enhanced by his original painted frame. From the late 1880s to the end of the 1890s van Rysselberghe developed a distinct form of Neo-Impressionism, based on the style of the French painters Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, yet with a distinct leaning toward the Symbolist sensibilities of the leading Belgian artists of the day.
