Brief aan Philip Zilcken

William Degouve de Nuncques was a Belgian painter who was associated with the symbolist movement, although he is occasionally referred to as a postimpressionist. He is best known for his nocturnal landscapes, inundated with strange atmosphere and at times visionary subjects. He continued to paint compelling landscapes into the early decades of the 20th century but the overt symbolist qualities slowly dissipated from his work after 1900.
