Description: | Signed: yes Description: Verboeckhoven, born in 1799 in West Flanders, son of the sculptor Barthelemev Verboeckhoven (1754-1840), became an animalier in the seventeenth-century tradition, his style changing little in the course of a long career. Trained by his father in modelling and lithography he began to exhibit, at Ghent, in 1820. He travelled in France (1824 and 1841), Germany (1828) and Italy (1841) and visited London in 1824 and 1826. During his visits to England he studied exotic animals at the Royal Zoological Gardens. His approach was influenced by the work of Paulus Potter, Aelbert Cuyp and the teaching of B.P. Ommeganck at the Ghent Academy. His work is suffused with a strong sense of the Romantic movement and this quality, combined with the popularity of the Dutch and Flemish tradition of animal painting, ensured that his work was very popular with European collectors. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (sheep and dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verboeckhoven, Eugène (Belgian painter, printmaker, and sculptor, 1799-1881) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8367... | Go to resource |
