Gustave Den Duyts

Gustave Den Duyts was a Belgian painter, watercolourist, pastelist, etcher and graphic artist, known for his landscapes. His graphic work quickly gained attention. His etchings won him a prize in 1875 in the competition run by the journal "Journal des Beaux-Arts". On the other hand, at the Fifth Exhibition of the Vereniging der Gentsche Kunstoefenaren his painting received criticism because of being too modern. Its indefinite forms forced the viewer to squint in order to make it out and this vagueness of definition is now regarded as a forerunner of Flemish impressionism. Much of his work was townscapes or landscapes with a melancholic feeling, often with a setting sun or a rising moon and typically done in autumn or winter. The landscapes are usually bare, skeletal and stylized, betraying the fact that he was a skilled etcher, but never detailed. Human or animal figures are not sharply defined but appear to dissolve into the background.
