Baron Franciscus (Franz) Eduardus Maria Courtens was a Belgian painter born in 1854. A leading figure of the Dendermonde School, he is famous for his incredible landscapes and nature paintings. A close friend of King Leopold II, one of the highlights of Courtens' impressive and fruitful career included working as a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp from 1904 until 1924. A number of his works are still held in the Royal Collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis stunning landscape is a credit to Courtens' outstanding skill. Delicately painted in impeccable detail, this work recalls the masterpieces of John Constable in its subject and style. As we peer down this tree-lined country lane, we notice charming details such as a farmer and houses in the distance, with the vibrant natural tones and contrast between light and shadow making an overall spectacular result. A truly magnificent work of art. The painting comes in a beautifully ornate Gallery frame with the artist's name engraved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist name: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFranz Courtens (1854-1943)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApprox date: \u003c\/b\u003e1885 to 1910\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrame Size: \u003c\/b\u003eH 115 cm x W 149 cm x D 16 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoard Size: \u003c\/b\u003eH 73 cm x W 110.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedium: \u003c\/b\u003eOil on panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eOverall good. Few restoration touch-ups.
