"Sloepen In De Haven" (1915) is a notable painting by the Belgian artist Gustave De Smet, a prominent figure in the Flemish Expressionist movement. The artwork, whose title translates to "Sloops in the Harbor" in English, captures a scene of boats moored in a harbor, a common subject in maritime art but interpreted here through De Smet's distinctive expressionist lens. The painting is characterized by its bold use of color, distorted forms, and the emotional intensity typical of the Expressionist movement, which sought to convey the inner emotional experience rather than realistic representation.

Born in 1877 in Ghent, Gustave De Smet was initially influenced by Impressionism but later shifted towards Expressionism after World War I, particularly under the influence of the German Die Brücke group. "Sloepen In De Haven" reflects De Smet's transition into a more expressive style, showcasing his exploration of form and color to evoke mood and atmosphere rather than to depict the harbor with literal accuracy.

The painting is a reflection of the artist's personal interpretation of the post-war society and the changing landscape of the early 20th century. De Smet's work during this period often featured the rural and urban working-class life, including fishermen and harbor scenes, which he rendered with a sense of solidity and structure that conveyed both the hardships and the enduring spirit of his subjects.

"Sloepen In De Haven" is considered an important work in Gustave De Smet's oeuvre, exemplifying his contribution to the development of Flemish Expressionism and his ability to infuse traditional subjects with modernist sensibilities. The painting is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also as a historical document that captures the essence of the era's artistic trends and the cultural milieu of post-war Belgium.
