Václav Radimský (1867 - 1946) ELBE NEAR STARÝ KOLÍN

From the opinion of PhDr. Nadězda Blažíčková-Horová: "The presented work is undoubtedly a typical work of the landscape painter Václav Radimský painted between 1925 and 1930. Radimský left France at the beginning of 1918 and settled with his brothers in his native house in Pašince near Kolín. Even after his return to the Czech Republic, water was his constant inspiration, but the Seine was replaced by the Elbe. Radimský was incredibly diligent and was always creating works for exhibitions and for those interested in buying his works. In the present painting of the Elbe near Starý Kolín, he captured with masterly conviction - against a background of several houses and a grassy area - the flow of the Elbe flowing through the centre and its bank framed by tall trees reflecting on the silver water surface. In this subject he was absolutely unsurpassed."
