Joseph Stallaert was a Belgian painter; best known for his scenes from antiquity. In 1847, he was awarded the Prix de Rome and stayed in Italy until 1852. Upon his return, his mentor Navez exerted some influence to obtain a contract for him to do a painting for the Brussels Town Hall ("The Death of Everard 't Serclaes"). That same year, he became Director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Tournai. In 1865, he was selected to be the first teacher of "Drawing and Painting from Nature" at the Brussels Academy and held several important positions there over the next thirty years.
