Huis in de Peter Benoitstraat, Oostende 1929

"Huis in de Peter Benoitstraat, Oostende" is a 1929 painting by Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert. Spilliaert, a prominent figure of the Symbolist movement, is known for his melancholic depictions of urban scenes. This painting captures the quiet stillness of a single house in Oostende, with a focus on architectural details like the ornate door and window. The muted color palette and precise lines create a sense of solitude, characteristic of Spilliaert's style. His focus on the everyday, often overlooked, details of urban life adds to the painting's poetic and introspective nature.
