Original Description
"After the Storm" by Valerius De Saedeleer (1867-1941) captures the serene aftermath of nature's turbulence through his distinctive Flemish Expressionist style. Created during Belgium's interwar period, the painting depicts a luminous countryside landscape where angular, geometric forms of fields and trees contrast with delicate atmospheric light—a hallmark of De Saedeleer's "geometric mysticism." The work exemplifies the artist's pivotal role in the Sint-Martens-Latem artist colony, blending Symbolist spirituality with Post-Impressionist techniques. Its historical significance lies in reinterpreting traditional landscape painting through emotionally charged simplification, positioned midway between Van Gogh's expressive brushwork and early abstraction. The pale gold sky dissolving into pearly clouds reveals De Saedeleer's masterful handling of transitional light, making this work a touchstone of early 20th-century Belgian expressionism.
For interior spaces, this painting's harmonious muted palette—soft ochres, moss greens and hazy blues—makes it ideal for calming environments like home studies or executive offices. Consider hanging the artwork at eye level (standard 57-60 inches from floor to center) in spaces receiving northern light to enhance its subtle color gradations. A medium-large format recreation (approximately 100x80cm) would create proper visual weight when placed above Scandinavian-style wooden consoles or against Farrow & Ball's "Skylight" painted walls. The composition's strong horizontals pair beautifully with low-profile Mid-Century Modern furniture, while its contemplative mood benefits from being positioned opposite seating areas. For color cohesion, introduce textural elements like flax linen throws or matte ceramic vases echoing the painting's earthy tones, avoiding high-gloss finishes that would compete with its misty luminosity.
