Romain Steppe, Antwerp 1859-1927, artist community "Als ik kan". Painting oil on canvas: Scheldt landscape in haze, summer. Size 32x21cm, with frame 45x34cm.
Very atmospheric painting with a summer Scheldt landscape. Signed ul Romain Steppe. Inscriptions on the location and in detail on the weather applied by the artist on the reverse of the frame. In Dutch, I decipher among others: "Summer - gray warm weather" and "rainy weather". Painting in my opinion in very good original condition for its age. The original frame was badly bumped and I repaired it with simple means, see photos. It sees itself as a free addition to the painting.
I guarantee the authenticity of the painting.
There is a lot of information about the well-known artist on the Internet. This one Link to Wikipedia article: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romain_Steppe
The rather small format and the atmospheric depiction of the weather are very typical. The painting has an extremely fine, almost delicate effect. There is a second picture in the same format with the same frame in a second auction, see third photo.
