- About the artworkThe Belgian / Dutch painter Raoul Hynckes (1893-1973) initially painted mostly impressionistic harbors along the Belgian and Dutch coast and the IJsselmeer, like the river face. In 1914 he was conscripted to the front, but shocked by the violence of war, he deserted and fled to the neutral Netherlands where he continued to live the rest of his life. In 1924 he ended up in an artistic crisis. He broke with Impressionism and destroyed much of his work. In the thirties of the last century, he began painting still lifes in an extremely fine and meticulous style of painting. He is considered one of the Magic Realists and is represented in the collections of Museum MORE, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Arnhem Municipal e.v.a ..
