A still life painting by Gustave de Smet, 'Bloemen Onder Glazen Stolp' features a collection of objects, including flowers under a glass dome, rendered with loose brushwork and a muted colour palette.
Gustave de Smet (1877-1943) was a Belgian painter associated with the Flemish Expressionist movement. He is known for his simplified forms, use of colour, and exploration of everyday subjects. His work often reflects a sense of introspection and a connection to the natural world. De Smet's artistic journey involved periods of experimentation with different styles, including luminism and cubism, before he arrived at his mature expressionist style. He was a member of the art group 'Latemse School', which played a significant role in the development of modern art in Belgium. 'Bloemen Onder Glazen Stolp' (Flowers Under a Glass Dome) is a still life painting that features a collection of objects arranged on a surface. The composition includes a glass dome containing flowers, a pitcher, and a figurine. In the background, two paintings are visible, one depicting a religious scene and the other a seascape. The painting is characterised by its loose brushwork and muted colour palette, which creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The objects are rendered in a simplified manner, with an emphasis on their essential forms and textures. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and a celebration of the beauty of everyday objects.

Real reviews from real customers
When war broke out in 1914, De Smet and his friend Frits Van den Berghe fled Belgium together for the Netherlands. The flight transformed both painters. In the Netherlands, exposure to the Bergen School and to Leo Gestel's work converted De Smet from an Impressionist into an Expressionist. He returned to Belgium in 1922 a different artist. He was born in Ghent in 1877. His father Jules was a decorative painter and photographer. He attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent from 1889 to 1896, then joined the artistic community at Sint-Martens-Latem, where he, Constant Permeke and Van den Berghe became the three founders of Flemish Expressionism, the second Latem School. After the war, he settled in Deurle in 1927. His mature paintings depict farmers, fishermen, popular entertainments and working-class women, composed as geometric, puzzle-like arrangements of coloured shapes that fuse Expressionism with Cubism. Village fairs and circus scenes recur frequently, treated with a formal rigour that lifts them out of genre painting into something more structural. His palette, brighter than Permeke's and more structured than Van den Berghe's, gives his Expressionism a decorative quality that softens without weakening the formal discipline underneath. He died in 1943, at sixty-six.
