Egide François Leemans : ウィキペディア英語版 | Egide François Leemans Egide François Leemans or Egide Leemans〔Also known as 'Egidius Franciscus Leemans' and 'Egidius-Frans Leemans'〕 (Antwerp, 28 April 1839 – Antwerp, 2 January 1883) was a Belgian painter, draughtsman and engraver.〔(LEEMANS, Egide François (1839 - 1883), Engraver ), in: Benezit Dictionary of Artists〕 He is best known for his paintings and prints of waterscapes, harbours and seascapes in the evening or at night. His work represents a break with the tradition of grand themes in Belgian marine art in favour of a realist representation of nature.〔Pol de Mont, 'De schilderkunst in België van 1830 tot 1921', The Hague, Martinus Nijhoff, p. 160-161, 165-168 〕 ==Life and work== Leemans studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp. The teachers and pupils of the Antwerp Academy with an interest in marine painting worked in the Romantic tradition: Jacob Jacobs depicted stormy scenes and Hendrik Frans Schaefels preferred scenes of historic naval engagements.〔 Leemans broke with this Romantic and historical approach to marine art in favour of a more realistic rendering of nature even in its modest appearance. Leemans painted his marine landscapes from nature although he may have finalised his works in the studio.〔 His most frequent subjects are landscapes of rivers or canals with sailing boats in old cities in Flanders and The Netherlands. He had a preference for showing the reflection of the moonlight on river landscapes.〔(Egide François Leemans ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕〔Adrien Jean Joseph Delen, 'Modern Belgian Etchers and Copper Engravers', Belgian Government Information Center, 1951, p. vii〕 Most of his works have a silvery gray undertone. As his style of marine art did not follow the contemporary Romantic, grandiose vision of Belgian marine art, his works did not sell well and he died in relative poverty.〔 A few still lifes by Leemans depicting flowers and fruit typically set in a landscape are also recorded.〔(Egide François Leemans (Belgian, 1839–1883), 'Still life with pumpkin, grapes and plums' ) at Artnet〕〔(Attributed to Egide François Leemans (Belgian, 1839–1883), 'Floral still life in urn in a landscape' ) at Artnet〕
