Emile Claus – Prince of Luminism commemorates the centenary of the death of the most important Belgian impressionist Emile Claus (1849–1924), who, like no other, managed to capture the unique atmosphere and life around the Leie.
During his early academic period in Antwerp, Claus emerged as a portrait and genre painter. In the following decade, his attention for landscapes only increased. With key works such as Cockfight in Flanders, Cows Crossing the Leie, Bietenoogst and The Kingfishers, he established his reputation and became an indispensable figure in the art world. His virtuoso painting touches can now be found in the collections of various prestigious museums, the Royal Collection and countless private collections.
Emile Claus expert Johan De Smet, senior curator of the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent, highlights the important moments in Claus’ artistic career using numerous masterpieces, literary references and archival documents. An indispensable reference work for lovers of impressionist art.
This publication is published on the occasion of the exhibition Emile Claus – Prince of Luminism in Mudel – Museum of Deinze and the Leie Region, Deinze from 27 September 2024 to 26 January 2025. ONLY IN DUTCH!
