Description
Seascape in gouache and colored chalk on paper in 1921 by Belgian symbolist Leon Spillaert (1881-1946). Like his better known compatriot, James Ensor, Spillaert spent most of his life in Ostend, on the Belgian coast, and like Ensor created a strange and unsettling vision of the world through his (often monochromatic, like this one) paintings. Having spent summers as a child on the Belgian coast, I can vouch for the often spectacular nature of sunsets over the North Sea, although I don't ever recall seeing one quite as apocalyptic as this one.
