Bog myrtle – a wet heath shrub – blooms in April and May, producing golden catkins. Van Doren painted this scene on a boggy heath: a dark color palette, royal blue strokes, light blue pools reflecting light, and above them a cloudscape he rendered with rough, sketchy brushstrokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Doren was no marginal figure. In 1892, he won the Prix Donnay, the landscape prize of the Brussels Academy, was a co-founder of the Société Royale des Beaux-Arts alongside Constantin Meunier and Fernand Khnopff, and enjoyed significant royal admiration. Leopold II purchased his work early on, Albert I and Queen Elisabeth did not miss a single one of his exhibitions, according to the museum, and King Baudouin later hung a Van Doren painting in his office in Opgrimbie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the sock, the design features a camel-brown base representing the peaty soil, a light blue border for the sky, and between them the pools, golden catkins and dark shrubs. The design is woven rather than printed – the colors are embedded directly into the sock, so they will not fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'La fleurison de myrica' · oil on canvas, 101.5 × 70.5 cm · collection of the Emile Van Doren Museum, Genk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited edition of 700 pairs.
