Antique Framed Oil Painting on Panel by Dieudonne Jacobs (1887-1967)

Antique Framed Oil Painting on Panel by Dieudonne Jacobs (1887-1967) is a splendid work inspired by a placid coastline with a rising full moon during a calm, overcast night.  Jacobs has beautifully rendered the evening coloration in various shades of blue and violet, with the moonlight glowing through the cloud cover and reflecting on the surface of the rippled water.  Note the fishing boat with two stalwart seamen returning from a long day at the fishing banks.  Recently re-framed and matted.
Dieudonne Jacobs was born 1887 in Liège and spent his life as an artist between the Belgian Ardennes and the French Riviera, especially between Spa and La Garde (present day Toulon). He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Liège, and became known for his inimitable impressionistic style.
