Charles Verbrugghe, scion of Belgian aristocracy, entered the world on June 15, 1877, amidst the enchanting landscapes of Bruges. His journey through life unfolded as a tapestry of artistry, marking him as a distinguished Impressionist painter with a penchant for capturing the essence of diverse subjects.
Verbrugghe's artistic palette was expansive, spanning town views, landscapes, seascapes, beaches, still lifes, flowers, and portraits. Notably, his canvases came alive with evocative depictions of convents and cityscapes in both Bruges and Paris, earning him acclaim in artistic circles.
In 1907, the artist embarked on a transformative sojourn to Paris, seeking enlightenment under the guidance of the esteemed Flori Van Acker (1858 – 1940). Amidst the vibrant artistic milieu, Verbrugghe forged friendships with luminaries such as Maurice Utrillo (1883 – 1955) and Kees Van Dongen (1877 – 1968). Residing in Montmartre near the iconic Place du Tertre, he painted the charming corners of Paris and frequented the renowned artists' gathering place, "Au Lapin Agile," engaging in stimulating conversations with Degas, Renoir, and Monet.
A yearly pilgrimage to his beloved Bruges became a ritual for Verbrugghe. Whether ensconced in the "Hotel Memling" or the "Pension Notre-Dame," he became affectionately known as "De Brugse Parisien" among the locals. In 1968, his artistic journey came full circle with a retrospective exhibition at the "Galerie Brugeoise" in Bruges, showcasing around a hundred of his masterpieces.
Verbrugghe's artistic signature was marked by brilliant colors and an adept use of vibrant light, a nod to his profound affinity for French Impressionism. As an autodidact, he charted an extraordinary career, initially gravitating towards landscapes before succumbing to the allure of Impressionism, a commitment he steadfastly upheld despite the pressures of the Parisian art scene. His artistic evolution mirrored a transition from darker palettes to resplendent and luminous shades.
The maestro bid adieu to the world in Paris on October 1, 1974, finding solace in the embrace of his son's home in Gorgeslez-Gonesse near Le Bourget. Verbrugghe's artistic legacy reverberates in the art capitals of Paris and Bruges, with his paintings adorning private collections worldwide. The Bruges Museum stands as a testament to his enduring influence, ensuring that the brilliance of Charles Verbrugghe continues to captivate and inspire art connoisseurs across the globe.
