EUGEEN VAN MIEGHEM (1875-1930) 'Het gerecht', vers 1929. Huile sur panneau d'aggloméré. Signé 'Eug van / Mieghem'. Vers 1926, l'artiste se brouille avec sa seconde épouse (beaucoup plus jeune), Marguerite Struyvelt. Le règlement du divorce durera jusqu'à la mort de Van Mieghem (24 mars 1930). L'artiste fit appel à un avocat de Bruxelles (agenda 1929, fac-similé Fondation Van Mieghem, à la page du 5 au 8 février il note le nom et l'adresse de son conseil : 'Maître Jean Thévenet, avocat à la cour d'appel, 61 rue Lesbroussart, Bruxelles'). Lors d'un déplacement cette année-là (1929), l'artiste a probablement réalisé au Palais de Justice de Bruxelles l'esquisse préparatoire de ce tableau puissant où il souhaite clairement souligner le caractère sévère du personnage (le procureur ?). Correspondance Erwin Joos, 20.9.1997). Provenance: Famille H. Sandhouse, Anvers-New York Galerie Broadway, New York Collection privée Pays-Bas Collection privée Belgique Dimensions: 63.5 x 78.7 cm (87 x 103 cm)
