Biography: Adriaenssens Fernand was born in 1859 in the enchanting city of Antwerp. His artistic journey revolved around mastering landscapes, establishing him as a celebrated Belgian painter known for his extraordinary ability to capture nature's essence. Both his life and work were intricately intertwined with Antwerp, a city that provided the backdrop and inspiration for his creations.
An adept landscape painter, Adriaenssens had a rare gift for evoking unique atmospheres on canvas. Each brushstroke breathed life into his scenes, conveying a world of emotions through various textures. This distinctive approach to rendering landscapes became his hallmark, etching his name into art history's records.
He was also a still-life painter. In his still lifes, he portrayed contemporary and antique objects, narratively depicting each object to fully comprehend the person behind it. His still lifes were also autobiographical.
Adriaenssens wasn't just an artist; he also engaged with Antwerp's artistic circles. He found kinship and shared aspirations within the 'Als Ick Kan' circle, the 'Cercle artistique, littéraire et scientifique d'Anvers', and the 'Kunstverbond'. These gatherings went beyond social events, nurturing inspiration and creativity.
In 1884, Adriaenssens gained recognition with a successful exhibition at the "Exposition Générale des Beaux-Arts" in Brussels. The following year, his work graced Antwerp's 'Verlatzaal', solidifying his reputation.
In 1883, he co-founded the 'Als Ick Kan' circle, aiming to offer young Antwerp artists a platform to showcase their work. This initiative left a lasting impact, transcending its humble beginnings.
Fernand Adriaenssens' journey ended in 1944 in his hometown. Yet, his legacy endures, with his unique vision resonating in private and public collections worldwide, including the Antwerp Museum.
His journey embodies the potency of artistic expression, inspiring artists across time and place. In Antwerp and beyond, his legacy breathes life into our collective artistic heritage.

- White and Pink Peonies in Vase, Charles Swyncop, Brussels 1895 – 1970, SignedBy Charles SwyncopLocated in Bruges, BEWhite and Pink Peonies in Vase Charles Swyncop Brussels 1895 – 1970 Belgian Painter Signature: Signed top left Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 46 x 38 cm, frame size 64 x 56 cm Biography: Swyncop Charles was born in Brussels in 1895. Charles was a painter of landscapes, city views, seascapes, still lifes, flowers, children, genre scenes, figures (often Spanish beauties) and portraits. He was also illustrator and lithographer. Younger brother and pupil of Philippe Swyncop. He studied at the Academy of Brussels (1908-1917 and 1919-1920) with as teachers, J. Delville, H. Richir and Alfred Bastien. He also travelled to Rome and Venice. In Rome he studied iconography and the study of the great masters. Also found, like his brother, inspiration in Spain. Like his brother, he painted in a lighter genre. But, unlike his brother, he used subtle, spontaneous brushstrokes such as the French Fauvists. His colourful sea views are reminiscent of the works of Henri Matisse and André Derain. In 1920 Swyncop assisted his teacher Alfred Bastien with the panoramic painting “Panorama de l’Yser”. Other assistant painters were Charles Léonard and Jef Bonheur, also former pupils of Bastien. The work was done in what later became the mosque of the Cinquantenaire Park. From 1924 onwards, it was given a suitable panoramic building in Ostend. The canvas was severely damaged during the Second World War. Charles Swyncop took part in a group exhibition at ‘Maison d’Art Moderne’ in Brussels in 1920 together with Jean Colin, Philippe Swyncop, Arthur Navez, Samuel Milbauer, L. Bisschops, J. Payro and Jean-Jacques Gailliard. He received an honourable mention (third prize) on the Prize of Rome in 1920. In the years 1922-1923 he made study trips to Spain and Italy. There he made portraits of the local population. He regularly returned to Spain. Commissioned by the Ministry of Colonies, he painted decorative panels for the 1930 World Fair in Antwerp. Swyncop was a member of the group ‘La Lierre’ and took part in the annual exhibitions. Other members of ‘La Lierre’ included Alfred Bastien, Julius Brouwers, Louis Clesse, Henri De Clerck...Category
