Panchromy refers to the intensity or temperature
of colour. Monet was not the only one to have a
keen eye for this, so too did James Ensor. In the
later phase of his career, this Ostend master
seeks to capture the fleeting essence of the light
in his beloved home city on canvas. He paints the
iridescence of its salty air and the mother of pearl
on the inside of seashells. Ensor and Verheyen
both start from white and soft bright colours,
from the purity of light.
