Large Portrait Signed Van Beylen 133 X 104 Cm With Frame

Grande académie ( 133 x 104 cm with frame - 119 X 88 cm) by Victor Alphonse Van Beylen, undated but signed and probably from the 1930s - Full-length portrait which must have been produced in South Africa where he lived for a long time -

Little has been said about his career : born in 1897 in Antwerp in Belgium, he studied in the academies of Bruges and Antwerp, lived in London and in South Africa -

He excels especially in the portraits of genre scenes and still life - In this case for this painting, I would say that he paints as he draws, the eye is fascinated, concentrated on the contrast between the velvety musculature of the model and the apparent casualness of it -

The glabrous background, the muted muted tones of warm earth , ocher - A living aporia this canvas -
