 And let’s start a new month with a painter from my hometown:


Kerstiaen de Keuninck the Elder.
(1560 - 1632)

Kerstiaen de Keuninc was a Flemish Baroque painter. He is best known for his imaginary landscapes with theatrical light effects. In addition, he specialized in fires and disasters, with at least seven Fires of Troy and five Fires of Sodom to his credit. His themes and style evolved little. Three of his paintings were exhibited in the Broelmuseum in Kortrijk. One of his works is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
