About the Item

Belgium, 1805 – 1860 Victor-Jules Génissson was born in Sint-Omer (Belgium) on February 24, 1805. He was the son of Jules and Julie Paulmier. And married Reine Marie Van Bree in 1835. They had a son, Georges (1835-1896), who would become a genre and landscape painter. Victor-Jules Génisson trained at the Antwerp academy. Important teachers for him were Mathieu Van Bree and Philippe Van Bree, two painters of history scenes in romantic style. After his studies, he undertook study trips to France, Italy, Germany and Great Britain. Victor Génisson was skilled as a portrait and history painter, but he achieved most fame as a painter of cityscapes and church interiors. These accurately painted church interiors were either historically conceived or decorated with contemporary characters. This concerns the interiors of Gothic churches, which ties in with the renewed interest in the Gothic in Génissons' time. His use of perspective is extraordinary! In 1851 he came to live in Brussels again, finally settling permanently in Bruges in 1857. Génisson regularly exhibited his paintings in the Triennial Salons and in smaller salons in the province, examples are: The Hague, 1839: “In the St. Paul's Church in Antwerp” Amsterdam, 1841: “Church interior” and “In the Sint-Gudule in Brussels” Brussels, 1842: “View of the transept of the cathedral at Amiens” and “View of the choir stalls in the cathedral of Amiens” Paris, 1843: “View in an aisle of the old Dominican monastery in Antwerp” Rotterdam, 1848: “Interior of the Abbey Church in Averbode during the Easter celebration” Antwerp, 1849: “The choir of the abbey church of the Premonstratensians in Floreffe” (then Verz. Obozinski, Leuven) and “Interior of the Sainte-Waudru Church in Mons” Rotterdam, 1850: “Louis-Philippe's burial chapel in Dreux” and “Crypt of the burial chapel in Dreux” Amsterdam, 1860: “The St. John's Church in 's Hertogenbosch”; Some museums where his works have been shown.

    Located in OOSTERBEEK, NL
    Netherlands, 1817-1891 Johannes Bosboom was born in The Hague in 1817. During his lifetime, Johannes Bosboom would become one of the best-known painters of church interiors. His work has been much appreciated over time. He received his training from Romantic masters such as Bart van Hove and Wijnand Nuijen. Johannes Bosboom also took lessons at the Hague Drawing Academy. He showed his preference for the church interior at an early age. He made several journeys in his early years as an artist. In 1835 he visited Germany and in 1837 he traveled to France via Antwerp, where he worked mainly in Rouen and Paris. In 1851 he married the writer Anna Bosboom-Toussaint. He is considered a precursor of the 'Hague School'. The masterful way in which he used light in his church interiors made him one of the most important European painters in this genre.
