About the Item
This beautiful oil on canvas painting of two women conversing in the kitchen is circa 1920 and is by the artist Edward Antoon Portielje (1861, Antwerp - 1949) who was a Belgian genre painter.
He was born to the painter, Jan Portielje, and his wife Eulalie née Lemaire (1828-1903). His older brother, Gerard, was also a genre painter.
His first art lessons came from his father. Next, he attended the Royal Atheneum and from 1873, took after-school classes at the Royal, with Edward Dujardin. From 1877 to 1881, he was a full-time student there, under the tutelage of Polydore Beaufaux, Charles Verlat and Nicaise de Keyser.
He was married twice, first to Jeanne Marie Cochet then, in 1888, to Rosa Hermans, with whom he had a son. During World War I he lived in Brussels; returning to Antwerp in 1919.
Genre scenes, such as this piece, were his speciality, with an occasional portrait or seascape. Much of his inspiration came from the fishing communities in Zeeland. Many of his works are series of similar interior scenes, created according to the wishes of his agents, Albert D'Huyvetter and Guillaume Campo. They generally consist of a room with a sunny window, occupied by women in traditional costume, engaged in some daily activity. These paintings were very popular, selling throughout Europe and the United States.
In 1894, he worked together with Edouard de Jans and Joseph Dierickx to create murals for the Exposition Internationale d'Anvers.

Edward Antoon Portielje
Edward Antoon Portielje, the son of the Dutch artist Jan Frederik Pieter Portielje, primarily a portrait painter, was born on February 8th, 1861, in Antwerp. Edward’s brother, Geerard Jozef, was also an artist in the family tradition. He undertook artistic training at École des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp, studying under Charles Verlat, who also taught Van Gogh during the early 1880s. Portielje’s contributions to Belgian painting earned him the respected honor of knighthood from the state. He died on December 18th, 1949 in Antwerp. Portielje’s intimate interior scenes, in the artistic lineage of Belgian painter Jean-Baptiste Madou and the most recognizable of Portielje’s image for modern-day audiences, offer light-hearted reflections of leisure time rendered in warm tones that give his images such immensely appealing qualities. His reliance on local exhibitions shows his patriotism to the creation and advancement of typically Belgian art, in both theme and mood.
