Description

Large framed oil on canvas signed Victor Simonin (1877 - 1946) of a large green vase of flowers with ceramics on a table. The painting is mounted in a simple gilt frame. There is a label on the rear showing that this painting was exhibited at one of the retrospective exhibitions of his work.

Simonin was a Belgium neorealistic painter of landscapes and most importantly of still-life paintings.

He was a student at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts from 1894 through 1895 and afterwards studied with master teachers and artists, A. Bastien, A. Oleffe, M. Wagemans, F. Smeers, A. Degreef and A. Pinot.

At the same time that he was studying art, he was also a student of music at the Brussels Conservatory. He was gifted in both arts. Simonin's broad and spirited strokes utilized in his still life paintings emulated those of the famed artists, Vogels and Paul Hasserts. He also emulated and admired Alfred Bastien, who was one of his teachers.

He was one of the founders of the elite group of Flemish painters "L'Essor." He exhibited rarely at his choice. In 1941, he was awarded the prestigious medal, "Prix A. Oleffe," named after one of his other master teachers.

A retrospective of his work was shown at the "Musee d'Ixelles" in 1977 and again in 1997 at the "Centre d'Art de Rouge-Cloitre" at Auderghem.Simonin Victor 1877-1946.

Antique still life paintings typically focus on the arrangement of inanimate objects, such as flowers, fruit, and vessels, rendered with careful attention to light, shadow, and texture to capture a specific mood or moment in time.

Traditional oil paintings from historical periods were typically executed using ground pigments suspended in drying oils, such as linseed oil, applied onto stretched linen canvas, wooden panels, or heavy paper boards.

Authentic period pieces exhibit characteristics such as craquelure in the paint surface, oxidisation of varnishes visible under ultraviolet light, traditional hand-stretched canvas on mortise-and-tenon stretcher frames, and signs of ageing on the reverse.

An antique oil painting provides focal depth and textural contrast in modern schemes, often displayed within a traditional gilt or simple floating frame to bridge historical character with clean, contemporary surroundings.

Preservation involves maintaining stable ambient temperatures and relative humidity, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, displaying away from heat sources, and consulting a professional conservator for cleaning or varnish removal.
