Monday hero: Emile Claus

The work of the Belgian painter Emile Claus (1849-1924) is defined by the light in them.

Claus was an important representative of the Luminist painters.

His early work is very realistic, later work is more atmospheric.

He often painted farmers in the Leie district.

Some work is a bit 'sweet', but his use of colour is always beautiful.
