Impressionist Still Life with Bottle and Fruit by A. de Man, Belgium, 1960s

A striking mid‑century Belgian still life by A. De Man, painted around 1960 in oil on canvas. The composition features a wine bottle, a bowl of fruit, and rounds of cheese arranged on a tabletop, rendered with confident brushwork and a rich, atmospheric palette. The artist’s use of light and shadow creates a subtle tension between the objects; the deep blues and greens of the bottle and vase contrast beautifully with the warm ochres and reds of the fruit and table surface. The result is a composition that feels both intimate and timeless, evoking the quiet harmony of everyday life. Presented in its original wooden frame with a bronze‑toned finish, the painting is signed “A. De Man” at the lower right. This elegant work exemplifies the Belgian post‑war Impressionist tradition, balancing expressive color with serene composition; a refined addition to any collection of European modern art.
