This beautiful Post-Impressionist oil on canvas still life by Jean Laudy (1877-1956), a Dutch-Belgian painter, captures a soft blur of a bouquet of pink and yellow roses arranged in a vase, with fallen petals and a few lemons scattered at the base. Painted circa 1930, the work exemplifies Laudy’s refined use of colour and light, which lends a soft, radiant quality to his compositions. The painting has been mounted within a silver leaf frame. Jean Laudy studied at the art academies of Antwerp and Brussels, developing a style that bridged Impressionism and the emerging Post-Impressionist sensibility. Best known for his still lifes, landscapes, and portraits—including commissions for the Belgian royal family—Laudy achieved wide recognition for his sensitivity to texture and luminosity. In his birthplace of Venlo, the Jean Laudy Museum Chapel is dedicated in his honour, preserving his legacy as one of the region’s most accomplished artists of the early twentieth century. Today, his works are held in various public collections including at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts. During his lifetime, the critics were glowing.
“A wonderful gift of harmony and exceedingly clever technique.” The Connoisseur, 1921.
“Jean Laudy’s exhibition is brilliant, dazzling, blinding. It is easy to understand that the artist creates with joy and that he must create, that he obeys an imperative need.” Magazine printed in Brussels, 1921
“full of a vitality, which is not allowed to run riot. There are many good things, but not many so brilliant as these.” Yorkshire Post, 1930 .
