Artimo Fine Art
Émile Jespers (Deurne 1862-1918 Antwerp) Reclining Female Nude on a Wave, circa 1907 Model created in 1907 Carrara marble H 36 x W 70 cm Signed on the base 'E. Jespers' This refined Carrara marble depicts a reclining female nude stretched across a dynamically carved rocky form evocative of a breaking wave. Resting on her forearms, her head gently raised and turned towards the viewer, the figure follows a long, sinuous movement from the shoulders through the waist and hips to the crossed legs. Jespers exploits the contrasting treatment of the marble to reinforce the composition. The smooth, highly polished surface of the female body emerges from the vigorously worked base, whose rougher texture and irregular contours suggest the movement of water. The sweeping silhouette of the figure follows the rhythm of the wave beneath her, closely associating the female body with the natural element. The composition belongs to the Symbolist and Art Nouveau exploration of the relationship between the female figure and nature that developed in Belgian sculpture around the turn of the twentieth century. It may notably be considered in relation to Charles Van der Stappen’s La Mer of 1902, conceived for Victor Horta’s Hôtel Solvay in Brussels, in which the female figure is similarly associated with the imagery of the sea. The plaster model is documented in 1907 through signed and dated versions of the composition, described as a reclining female nude and, more explicitly, as a nude woman reclining on a wave. The present Carrara marble corresponds closely in composition and dimensions to this documented example.

Gabrielle Montald (born Canivet) (Brussels, 1867-1942) Decorative bird, 1929 Gouache and ink over gold ground on paper 61.5 x 46 cm (sheet) 64 x 48 cm (framed) Signed and dated lower right ‘G. Montald 29’ Provenance: private collection, Belgium Related works: Among Gabrielle Montald’s most significant autonomous bodies of work, the so-called 'Oiseau décoratif series' occupies a central position. Although the motif appears as early as 1914, the majority of these works were produced between 1925 and the early 1930s. Following her international recognition at the 1925 'Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris', where her imaginative bird drawings were prominently exhibited, the series expanded in both scope and refinement. In 1927, three of the works shown in Paris were acquired by the Belgian government, marking the beginning of an institutional recognition that endures to this day. Rarely appearing on the market, a large part of Gabrielle Montald’s known oeuvre, including her textiles and bookbindings, is now preserved in Belgian museum collections.

Maarten Rijckaert (Antwerp, 1587-1611) Forest landscape with hunters, 17th century Oil on panel 32.4 x 49.5 cm This beautiful painting is a typical example of Maarten Ryckaert’s talent for creating atmospheric woodland scenes. The painting presents a dense forest filled with tall trees,a river, rough terrain and rocks. Soft light filters through the branches, creating contrasts between illuminated clearings and darker shadowed areas. In the foreground, a group of hunters on the left- and rightside accompanied by dogs: their small scale compared to the towering trees highlights the dominance of nature over human activity. The hunters add a sense of narrative and movement to the otherwise peaceful setting. Ryckaert uses earthy tones such as deep greens, browns, and golden highlights to create a rich and natural atmosphere. Fine details in the foliage, rocks, and tree trunks demonstrate his close observation of nature and his skill as a landscape painter. The scene evokes both tranquility and mystery, inviting the viewer to imagine the sounds and silence of the forest. The painting reflects the Baroque interest in dramatic natural scenery while also expressing a calm, contemplative mood. Through the balance of light, composition, and detail, Ryckaert transforms an ordinary hunting scene into a poetic vision of the natural world. Maarten Ryckaert was born in Antwerp and became especially known for his imaginative woodland scenes, rocky landscapes, and peaceful rural settings filled with travelers, hunters, and small groups of figures. Ryckaert studied painting in Antwerp and was strongly influenced by earlier Flemish landscape artists such as Joos de Momper and Jan Brueghel the Elder. Unlike many painters of his time who focused on religious or historical themes, Ryckaert specialized in landscapes, giving nature the leading role in his compositions. His works often combine realism with fantasy, creating dramatic forests, winding paths, and mysterious mountainous scenery.
