Emile van Doren (1865 - 1949)

Emile van Doren

Émile van Doren, birth name Nicolas Émile van Doren, was a Belgian landscape painter. In 1892 he received the Donne Prize, which since 1888 has been awarded by the Brussels Academy for landscape painting. The landscapes in and around Genk, with their vast heathlands, ponds and undulating sand dunes, became the almost exclusive subject of his paintings.

Emile Van Doren's success as a landscape painter was considerable. Early in his career, the royal court bought some of his works.
