A catalogue of oil paintings by Robert Broadley, showcasing his expressive impressionist style and masterful handling of light.
Jacques Viljoen returned to The Florence Academy of Art last year to complete his studies, which were interrupted by the COVID pandemic. In the years between his two chapters of studying in Italy, Jacques continued to hone his skills by painting en plein air works around the Cape. His time away from Florence has clearly been good for him; last week, Jacques was awarded the prize for the ‘Best Painting for the Class of 2025/2026’ by The Academy. It is an extraordinary endorsement from a school that sees hundreds of international students passing through its halls. Congratulations, Jacques!
The work that won this prize is a painting of a fortune teller. Leaning over a table of scattered tarot cards, the woman giving the reading stares ahead and through the person she is consulting with. In her left hand, she holds a single card that is concealed to everyone but herself. It’s a moment of absolute tension, telling many different stories all at the same time – something that only the most accomplished artist can do with oil paint, a canvas, and his brushes. It’s a fabulous painting.
