Description: | Signed: yes Description: Josephus Dyckmans was called the Belgian Gerrit Dou because of his ability to render fine detail, evident here in the rendition of the church furniture and worshippers. Dyckmans was Professor of the Antwerp Art Academy from 1841-1853 and exhibited at the Royal Academy, London between 1846 and 1869, the year before this work was made. Dyckmans specialised in painting domestic and church interiors with poignant subjects. The figure of the old woman who stares into the distance as if entranced by a heavenly vision may have been developed from his paintings of the blind. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; interior; religion | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dyckmans, Josephus Laurentius (Flemish painter, 1811-1888) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8318... | Go to resource |
