Large oil painting - Prosper De Roover

Prosper De Roover was a Belgian painter, born in Temse in 1899 and died in Temse in 1974. He studied at the Academy in Temse under the guidance of Pieter Dierckx, and at the Sint-Lucas in Ghent. He was able to perfect himself by working in the company of painters such as A. De Bats, Cam. Wauters and T. Van Os, all representatives of the Dendermondse School. He found his inspiration mainly in the Waasland, the Scheldt landscape and its changing seasons, but he also painted colourful still lifes and flower compositions and seascapes. He used an Impressionist touch. His first exhibition was in 1924 in the Zaal De Belgische Leeuw in Temse. He was a teacher of decorative drawing at the Academy in Temse (1922-1927). Professionally, he worked at the municipal administrative services in Temse. Prosper De Roover is mentioned in BAS I and Two centuries of signatures of Belgian artists. (Piron).
