Edgard Tytgat

A corner of the studio, dated 1932. Part of Edgard Tytgat’s studio is depicted here in harmonious shades of ochre and grey. A Venus de Milo (whose features are likely those of Maria, both his wife and his favourite model) stands out against the background.  Pinned to the wall are drawings and sketches in his own hand. Among them is the preparatory sketch for Prologue to a Nativity. On the table lie the pipe and tobacco, the painter’s inseparable companions. The entire composition, bathed in a light reminiscent of Impressionism, bears witness to a poetic synthesis of form and colour.
