About the Item

Jean Laudy Venlo 1877 – 1877 Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe Dutch-Belgian Painter 'Man with a Book' Signature: Signed top right and on revers Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 82 x 30,50 cm, frame size 91 x 39 cm Biography: Laudy Jean, born on May 4, 1877, in Venlo, was a Dutch-Belgian painter and the court painter to the Belgian Royal Family. His artistic journey began in his Venlo home, where his father’s encouragement and the provision of a studio fueled his passion, especially after scarlet fever left him blind in one eye. Studying in Antwerp and Brussels, Laudy refined his style, drawing inspiration from Dutch artists. In 1905, after marrying fellow student Hélène Demoulin, Laudy settled in Brussels. Engaging in the artistic community, he joined the “L’Effort” studio and the “Le Sillon” artists’ association, forming enduring friendships with Arthur Navez and Alfred Bastien. Regular attendance at “La Patte de Dindon” discussions enriched his creative journey. Exhibiting at esteemed venues such as the “Cercle des Beaux-Arts” and the “Salon de La Libre Esthétique,” Laudy showcased an evolving style that transitioned from impressionism to realism. His subjects spanned human figures, still lifes, nudes, interiors, portraits, and vibrant floral compositions, with a particular fondness for roses. Laudy’s artistic prowess earned him acclaim, culminating in a gold medal at the 1910 World Exhibition in Brussels. Renowned as a portraitist, he adeptly adapted his style to capture the essence of each subject, leading to his official appointment as court painter to the Belgian Royal Family. In 1921, he obtained Belgian citizenship and later became a member of the Royal Academy of Belgium. Despite his fame, Laudy held only four solo exhibitions, one of which took place in 1937 in his hometown, Venlo. Residing in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, he counted Queen Elisabeth of Belgium among his notable visitors. Laudy’s artistic legacy extended to his son, Jacques Laudy, a painter and cartoonist for Tintin magazine. Streets in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe and Venlo bear his name, and his works adorn museums such as the SteM in Sint-Niklaas and the Charlier Museum in Sint-Joost-ten-Node. Jean Laudy passed away on February 6, 1956, in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, leaving behind a rich artistic heritage.

VAN BIESBROECK Jules. Portrait of a man. Oil sketch on cardboard.
By Jules Pierre van Biesbroeck
Located in Paris, FR
Portrait of a man. Oil sketch on cardboard. Unsigned. This work will be recorded in the catalogue raisonné of the work of the artist currently in preparation. Jules Van Biesbroeck was the son of Jules Evariste van Biesbroeck, a painter of Ghent, but was born in Italy, in Portici, near Naples, while his parents were staying there. (In the 19th century many artists made educational trips to Italy). It was a long visit: the child was two years old by the time the family returned to Ghent.[1] After a short period of practice with his father, van Biesbroeck was enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. His first painting, "The Shepherd" (French: Le pâtre), was sold at the Triennale in Ghent. In 1888, when he was only 15 years old, he made his debut at the "Salon des Champs-Elysées" in Paris with his monumental work "The Launch of the Argo" (French: Le lancement...
