Anton Pieck Dutch Painter 1895-1987 Oil Painting of Lame Person at Prayer in Chapel Fairy Tale

Anton Franciscus Pieck was a Dutch painter, artist and graphic artist. He lived from 1895 until 1987. His works are noted for their nostalgic or fairy tale-like character and are widely popular, appearing regularly on cards and calendars. He is also famous for making the designs of the fairy tale forest in Dutch theme park De Efteling. In fact Walt Disney was a fan of Piects and traveled to the Netherlands to visit De Efteling to get ideas for Disneyland, I’ve had this for many years and to me it’s a deeply emotional piece. I’d be afraid to guess the paintings age. Stories and many others.
