Adrien Wernaers, Belgian, 1899 to 1977, an oil on canvas painting depicting a Belgian port with boats in twilight. Signed by the artist lower left. Unframed. Circa the first half of the 20th century. Adrien Wernaers was born in Mechelen in 1899 and died in Anderlecht in 1977. During his education at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, he received lessons from among others, Herman Richir and Alfred Bastien. Their influence would always remain visible in his work. Wernaers painted landscapes, compositions, cityscapes and figures and a Madonna with Child. Traveling and painting in Italy he realized a large series of landscape paintings, but he mainly worked in Belgium, especially in the western edge of the Pajottenland, and more specifically in the Pede Valley, in which Pieter Bruegel the Elder once found inspiration. A number of Wernaers' works were purchased by the Belgian State or belong to the collection of the municipality of Anderlecht. In addition, they are still in high demand by national and international art collectors. One of a kind artwork. European Modernist Paintings And Wall Decor Collectibles.
