Raoul Hynckes (1893-1973) was seen early on as a great painter in his native Belgium. With his impressionistic landscapes and harbour views, Hynckes was chosen for a one-man exhibition in Brussels before he was twenty. In 1914, due to war circumstances, he exchanged his hometown of Brussels for Amsterdam.
After 1924 he painted almost exclusively still lifes, which are considered to belong to the magical realism movement.
Works by Hynckes have been exhibited in the Boymans van Beuningen Museum (Rotterdam), the Museum of Modern Art (Arnhem) and the MORE Museum (Gorsel)
