Gustave Vanaise (1854 - 1902)

Gustave Vanaise

Gustave Vanaise is a Belgian painter. Gustave Vanaise paints historical and religious subjects, intimate scenes and is also a portrait painter. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent in the studio of Théodore Canneel, then in Brussels. He is part of an enthusiastic group of artists and sculptors from Saint-Gilles (Brussels). In 1883, he was one of the founding members of the Brussels avant-garde group “Les Vingt”. He resigned in 1886. We owe him portraits, as well as vast decorative compositions "in which the traditional vision of the Flemish school darkens to reflect new sensibilities", as Gustave Vanzype writes
