• About the artwork
  Victor Simonin (1877-1946) – Stilleven met Keulse pot en groenten
  
  Victor Simonin was een Belgisch neo-realistisch kunstschilder. Hij volgde tegelijk de avondlessen aan de Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Brussel en de vioolklas aan het Conservatorium. Een ongeluk had een handicap aan zijn linkerhand tot gevolg waarna hij zich volledig op de schilderkunst toe. Simonin behoorde tot de ‘Sillonisten’, een groep jonge Belgische schilders, leerlingen van de academie in Brussel, die rond 1900 het impressionisme herontdekten. De weergave van het licht in rijke kleuren, spontane verfstreken en een overdadige verfopbreng kenmerkten het werk van deze schilders.
  Het aangeboden werk is daar een duidelijk voorbeeld van en draagt overtuigend het ‘handschrift’ van zijn maker Victor Simon.

  Victor Simonin (1877 – 1946) – Still life with Cologne pot and vegetables
  
  Victor Simonin was a Belgian neo-realistic painter. He also attended evening classes at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and the violin class at the Conservatory. An accident resulted in a handicap on his left, after which he devoted himself entirely to painting. Simonin was one of the “Sillonists”, a group of young Belgian painters, students of the academy in Brussels, who rediscovered Impressionism around 1900. The representation of the light in rich colors, spontaneous brushstrokes and an excessive application of paint characterized the work of these painters. The work on offer is a clear example of this and convincingly bears the ‘handwriting’ of its maker Victor Simon.

• About the artist

  Victor Simonin (1877-1946) was a Belgian neorealist painter, born in Brussels. He attended evening classes at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and simultaneously studied violin at the Conservatory. After an accident that left his left hand disabled, he decided to devote himself entirely to painting.

  Simonin was a prominent member of the artists' association "Le Sillon", a group of young Belgian painters who rediscovered impressionism around 1900. His oeuvre consists mainly of still lifes and landscapes, with his powerful and broad painting style reminiscent of that of Guillaume Vogels.

  In 1941 he received the prestigious A. Oleffe Prize, in recognition of his contribution to Belgian painting. Posthumously, his works were exhibited at the Musée d'Ixelles in 1977 and at the Centre d'Art de Rouge-Cloître in 1997, testifying to a lasting appreciation of his artistic legacy.

  Simonin's paintings continue to be prized and regularly offered at auction, where they are sought after by collectors for their vivid rendering and technical skill.
