Biography: Arden Leo (Charlotte Léonie) was born in Antwerp in 1859 or in 1860. She was the first wife of a painter Henri Arden (1858 – 1917) and a pupil of Alfred Stevens (1823 – 1906).
She had a preference of anecdotic genre-scenes and landscapes, seldom reflected in large format. Her impulsive style and strange virility of colours allowed her to paint differently. From the press: “Her feminine sensibility led to a preference for an anecdotic and sentimental subject, which she managed to portray with grace and often imbued with a certain melancholy”. Her personality was mainly expressed in the delicacy and subtlety with which she managed to evoke a certain poetic and mystical atmosphere, mentioned in “Biographie Nationale”. Arden Leo exhibited in the ‘Cercle Artistique’ Brussels 1886 and in the Salon de Paris ever since 1896.
She died in Uccle-les-Brussels in 1904. Today her paintings can be found in many private and public collections, including in museums in Antwerp and Brussels, Belgium.

- Swans in the Park, Hans Volcker, Pyrzyce, Poland 1865 – 1944 Wiesbaden, GermanyLocated in Bruges, BESwans in the Park Volcker Hans Pyrzyce, Poland 1865 – 1944 Wiesbaden, Germany German Painter Signature: Signed bottom left and dated 98 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 72 x 111,50 cm, frame size 84 x 120 cm Biography: Volcker Hans was born on October 12, 1865 in Pyrzyce, Poland. Hans was the son of a pastor, orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandfather. Hans Volcker was a painter of landscapes, seascapes, still lives and portraits. He also painted in watercolour and fresco techniques. In 1885, Volcker was a student of famed Norwegian realist painter Hans Fredrik Gude (1825 – 1903) at the Berlin Academy. His teacher encouraged him to travel to Scandinavia. During his study trips, he made landscape paintings of Scandinavian mountain and lakes, that brought him later great recognition. In 1891, he led his own plein air painting school. The most famous pupils were german sculptor and painter Margarethe Haeffner (1884 – 1977) and the painter Oskar Moll (1875 – 1947). With his Berlin friend painter Walter Leistikow (1865 – 1908), who was also a pupil of Gude, he shared an admiration for Max Liebermann (1847 – 1935). His acquaintance with Liebermann’s paintings furthered his stylistic development to an Impressionism. In 1894 he lived in Munich and moved to Wiesbaden in 1899, where he was active as a contemporary artist and as a member of the Art Societies, presenting Max Liebermann, Fritz Overbeck or Lovis Corinth, among others. Today, particular importance is attached to the “Dutch Secession” exhibition, featuring paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Jan Toorop. In 1912, the society showed paintings by Alexei Jawlensky...Category
