Joseph Van Lerius
Joseph Henri François Van Lerius was a Belgian painter in the Romantic-Historical style. Van Lerius painted mythological and biblical scenes as well as portraits and genre pictures. Much of his work is didactic in nature. Perhaps his best-known work is "Lady Godiva", which was shown at the Antwerp Triennial Salon in 1870. Many of his works (especially "Lady Godiva" and "Cinderella") have been widely reproduced.
