Frans Van Leemputten

Frans Van Leemputten was a Belgian Realist painter who specialized in landscape paintings of the Campine and Brabantine regions in Belgium. Van Leemputten painted realist landscapes with figures, village scenes and animal scenes. He initially employed a dull palette but gradually started using brighter tones. His compositions are characterized by a clear palette and are executed with photographic precision. Van Leemputten often represented the Campine residents as monumental, immobile figures. Some of his works were thus transformed into still images of the serene country life. Thanks to their precise and objective observation, his works have documentary value.Van Leemputten worked in oils as well as in watercolors. His work was influenced by the realism of Jean-François Millet. Van Leemputten was part of a group of Belgian painters who took refuge from the complexity of urban life to look for simplicity, purity and naturalness in the pre-industrial countryside. They saw the countryside as a serene world, which stood in sharp contrast to their familiar urban environment.
