Baron Léon FRÉDÉRIC (Brussels, 1856-Schaerbeek, 1940) Millstones in Flanders Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard signed lower right, titled on the back and numbered in red "140". Beginning of the XXth century. 40 x 49,5 cm. He was made a baron by the king of the Belgians on the same day as James Ensor. In his time as popular as Constantin Meunier, Léon Frédéric was the author of compositions often presented in triptychs where symbolism and pictorial hyperrealism are mixed (L'Age d'or, Musée d'Orsay). In Le Ruisseau (Royal Museums of Brussels), dozens of children embody the torrential flow of water. Frédéric was also a painter of the Flemish people, workers and peasants, and an excellent landscape artist. Painted in an impressionist style, and not without reference to Monet, our Millstones are a superbly lifted study of the motif.
