Biography: Ragot Jules Félix, born in Paris in 1835, was a prominent French painter whose artistic journey left an indelible mark on the 19th-century art scene. Guided by the teachings of acclaimed masters Jean Murat and François-Edouard Picot, Ragot embarked on a career that showcased his exceptional talent and commitment to the traditional realist movement with a touch of post-Impressionist influence.
Ragot’s debut at the Salon de 1867 marked the beginning of a prolific career, primarily characterized by his proficiency in portraiture and genre painting, with a particular fondness for still lifes adorned with vibrant flowers. His artistic philosophy embraced realism, emphasizing a truthful representation of subject matter while eschewing artificiality and steering clear of speculative or supernatural elements.
Although not aligned with Impressionism’s emphasis on spontaneous and naturalistic rendering of light and color, Ragot’s work garnered widespread acclaim. He achieved significant recognition in Belgium, where he served as the tutor to Queen Marie-Henriette. His reputation extended to the royal court, with King Leopold II acquiring several of his notable pieces. Renowned art critic Joris-Karl Huysmans, a leading voice of the time, praised Ragot’s contributions in glowing terms.
Active in Saint-Gilles, Ragot’s artistic legacy became an integral part of Belgium’s cultural heritage. His oeuvre, now considered a cultural common good, continues to be celebrated for its realistic depictions and artistic finesse. Jules Félix Ragot passed away in Brussels in 1912 at the age of 77, leaving behind a rich tapestry of artistic achievements that resonate with admirers to this day.

- 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
