Rue des Fontenelles has dated this piece to the 1930s.
Amedee Degreef initially wanted to pursue a musical profession but on the advice of his father, who had recognised his artistic talents. He attended the Academy of Brussels. Upon graduating he joined the artistic group, `Le Sillon' and settled in the outskirts of Brussels. His work is somewhat realistic with a hint of a post-Impressionism. A painter of diverse subjects, there exist landscapes, still-lifes, marines and portraits amongst his oeuvre. Many of his landscapes show scenes in the Forest of Soigne and Brabant areas of Belgium. This extremely pleasing example of his work dates to around 1910 and was painted at the height of his career. In the landmark book, ‘De School van Tervuren’ by Herman De Vilder and Maurits Wynants a work from the same period is illustrated.
Paintings by Amedee Degreef have been acquired for the Belgian National Collection.
