Description: | Signed: yes Description: Verboeckhoven was born in 1799 in Warneton, West Flanders, son of the sculptor Barthelemev Verboeckhoven (1754-1840), from whom he received some instruction in modelling and lithography. The artist first exhibited at Ghent in 1820. During his visits to England in 1824 and 1826 he studied exotic animals at the Royal Zoological Gardens. Influenced by the work of Potter and Cuyp and the teaching of B. P. Ommeganck at the Ghent Academy, Verboeckhoven became an animalier in the seventeenth-century tradition, his style changing little in the course of a long career for most of which he was based in Brussels. Verboeckhoven repeated this particular subject of sheep in a barn several times varying individual elements only slightly. | Subjects: | animal (sheep); interior (barn) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verboeckhoven, Eugène (Belgian painter, printmaker, and sculptor, 1799-1881) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8696... | Go to resource |
