Biography: Cogen Felix, born in Sint-Niklaas on February 21, 1838, was an exceptional Belgian painter who left his mark on the First Latem School. With a brush that explored the boundaries of realism and imagination, he captured the world in enchanting landscapes, serene seascapes, animated portraits, compelling historical scenes, and everyday genre scenes from the world of fishermen. But Felix was more than just a painter; he was an artist at heart, an etcher, lithographer, and aquafortist who conquered the art world with his versatility.
His artistic journey began as a student of Théodore Canneel and Félix De Vigne at the Ghent Academy, where his talent quickly came to light. His quest for artistic perfection led him to the tranquil settings of Sint-Martens-Latem and Tervuren, where he joined the School of Tervuren. There, amidst like-minded artists, he found inspiration to capture the beauty of nature and everyday life.
His magnum opus, “de Champs Elysées,” is a monumental masterpiece that impresses not only because of its imposing size but also due to the profound emotion and masterful depiction of seafarers. It even features a historical scene in which Peter the Great is initiated into the art of shipbuilding in the Netherlands.
In 1875, Felix Cogen was honored with a third-class medal at the Salon de Paris, and in 1883, he was appointed a Knight of the Legion of Honor, a recognition of his extraordinary contribution to the art world. Between 1865 and 1890, he participated in the most important salons and exhibitions, including Salon Gent 1865, Expo Gent 1868, Expo Namur 1874, Salon Gent 1874, Expo Liège 1875, and Salon Nat. Brussels 1881. His work shone on national and international stages.
Felix Cogen was the older brother of painter Alfons Cogen and the uncle of painter and essayist Anna De Weert. His life journey took him from Brussels to Ghent and Sint-Martens-Latem, but he ultimately settled in the vibrant art scene of Brussels.
On March 9, 1907, Felix Cogen departed from this world, but his legacy lives on in the museums of Bruges, Brussels, Ghent, Kortrijk, Liège, and even Melbourne. His art remains a timeless source of inspiration and admiration for generations of art lovers around the world.

- Landscape in the Ardennes, Alphonse Asselbergs, Brussels 1839 – 1916, BelgianLocated in Bruges, BELandscape in the Ardennes Asselbergs Alphonse Brussels 1839 – 1916 Belgian Painter Signature: Signed bottom left Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 60,50 x 100 cm, frame size 73,50 x 113 cm The place this painting depicts is a small village Achouffe in the municipality of Houffalize, in Wallonia, Belgium. It is located in the forested Ardennes region. Situated within the Bastogne district Luxembourg province. Biography: Asselbergs Alphonse was born on June 19, 1839 in Brussels, Belgium. He was a painter of landscapes and forests. He studied with the master teacher and artist Edouard Huberti from 1863. After having led a world traveled life as a trader, he returned to the countryside of Belgium in 1867 and stayed in the Tervuren region and spent his time painting landscapes with great artists such as H. Boulenger, E. Huberti, J. Coosemans and Th. Baron. In 1868, he co-founded the “Societé Libre des Beaux-Arts”. From 1873 to 1874, he traveled and painted in North Africa with the watercolourist, Arthur Bouvier. It resulted in a number of canvases in the oriental style, but unfortunately without any commercial success. Despite having been shown at numerous exhibitions, they were all still in his studio at the time of his death. After returning from his travels, he lived near the artists’ colony in Genk and made occasional excursions to the forests of Fontainebleu in France. From 1875 to 1877 he worked in the Barbizon region with students of Rousseau. In 1877, Asselbergs moved to Brussels. He painted quite actively in the Brussels countryside, in the Ardennes and Campine regions. He had a studio with a round tower, on a street that is now named after him. He also made short trips abroad to France and Italy. During the 1880’s, he held exhibitions at the Salon de Paris. In 1881, receiving a second commission in 1896, he was named Officer in the Order of Leopold: it is the oldest and highest Order of Belgium and is named in honor of its founder the King Leopold...Category

- Oil on canvas : Cattle near the cliffs of Herne Bay KENT by Thomas Syndey CooperBy Thomas Sidney CooperLocated in Gent, VOVThomas Sidney Cooper was one of the foremost animal painters of the Victorian period. He was born in Canterbury, Kent, and as a small child he began to show strong artistic inclinations, but the circumstances of his family did not allow him to receive any systematic training. By the time he was twelve years old, he was working in the shop of a coach painter. Later he obtained a job as a scene painter, and he alternated between these two occupations for about eight years. He still felt a strong desire to become an artist, and all his spare moments were spent drawing and painting from nature. At the age of twenty, he went to London, drew for a while in the British Museum, and was admitted as a student of the Royal Academy. Subsequently, he returned to Canterbury, where he was able to earn a living as a drawing master and by the sale of sketches and drawings. In 1827, he settled in Brussels and married before taking up a position as a teacher in Brussels in 1829. There he befriended Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven, the great Belgian animal painter, who greatly influenced his style. He was also influenced by the 17th Century Dutch School. Because of the Belgian Revolution, he returned to London where he settled and first exhibited at Suffolk Street in 1833. He exhibited forty-eight pictures at the British Institution between 1833 and 1863. ‘Landscape and Cattle’, Royal Academy 1833, was shown until 1902 without a break - a record for a continuous exhibit at the Royal Academy. Sheep and cattle were his most frequent subjects, although he did paint a few figurative subjects. Cooper collaborated between 1847 and 1870 with Frederick Richard Lee...Category
