Henri Luyten “Chariot Attelé Dans La Futaie” – Early 20th Century Belgian Oil Painting
This expressive oil on canvas, titled “Chariot Attelé Dans La Futaie,” is a masterwork by Henri Luyten (1859–1945), a celebrated Belgian painter known for his vivid realism and emotive rural scenes. Executed circa 1910–1920, the composition depicts a horse-drawn cart in a wooded glade, capturing the quiet dignity of pastoral labor with rich brushwork and atmospheric depth. The painting is signed by the artist and presented in a hand-carved, gessoed and gilded frame, enhancing its historic character.
Luyten’s work is sought after for its honest portrayal of the working class and its connection to the Belgian Realist tradition. This substantial piece, framed and ready to hang, is ideal for collectors of European fine art, period interiors, or those with an appreciation for early 20th-century Belgian painting and the symbolism of agrarian life.
