Saint-Clair. Commune of Le Lavandou (Var). Théo Van Rysselberghe’s house and studio, designed by his brother Octave, an architect. The painter explored the region from the early years of the century and produced countless beautiful compositions featuring bathers, one of his favourite subjects.

Absent, like many other works by the artist, from the unreasonable and irrational catalogue published in 2003, which can be considered one of the worst publications of its kind, given the omnipresence of omissions, fantasies, approximations and errors. It seems that the art market only acknowledges its existence, as...
Painted in 1919 by Théo Van Rysselberghe. A very pretty small canvas measuring 33 x 55 cm, signed with the monogram and dated in the lower left corner. On its original canvas and very well preserved, the work would benefit from a light cleaning. There are several versions of...
When blatant incompetence is compounded by negligence, expertise becomes grotesque.

This beautiful painting by Théo Van Rysselberghe was painted in Knokke in 1894 during a summer spent with his friend, the French Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro. It depicts the typical little houses that can still be found today in the immediate Knokke countryside. Van Rysselberghe painted many fine Neo-Impressionist...
