Exotic Landscape by Alexander Francois Loemans
Alexander Francois Loemans, pronounced “loo-mahns,” remains a painter shrouded in mystery. Although limited information surrounds his origins, it is believed he hailed from the Netherlands or shared Dutch heritage. Notably, his artistic endeavors predominantly unfolded in Canada, encompassing Ontario and Manitoba, as well as the northern reaches of the United States, including New York State and Minnesota.
Loemans’ artistry transcends boundaries, as some of his works evoke the allure of tropical landscapes and feature a native woman from the Andes region. This suggests the possibility of his travels to Peru or another South American country within the Andes’ enchanting embrace.
