"Haddock," painted by Rik Wouters in 1916, is a still life depicting a haddock fish on a plate, a bowl of red liquid, and a blue tablecloth. The artwork showcases Wouters' signature style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The painting reflects the artist's fascination with everyday objects and the beauty he found in the commonplace. Wouters, a prominent figure in the Belgian avant-garde movement, tragically died at the age of 34, leaving behind a legacy of masterful still life paintings that remain admired by art enthusiasts.
