Isidore Meyers
Isidore Meyers is a Belgian landscape painter and draftsman. Around 1850 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp with Jacob Jacobs. In Paris, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, between 1855 and 1858 Meyers became acquainted with the French painters of the Barbizon school, which opposed formal academicism in landscape painting. In 1858, after returning to Brussels, he began to study in Campina, from where he graduated in October 1861. The Kalmpthout school was born there. In 1865 he became a professor at the Dendermonde Academy, famous for its harmonies of gray tones.
