Théodore Baron
Théodore Baron was a Belgian landscape painter in the Realistic style. He was initially trained in the Academic style. By 1860, he was already working at the artists' colony in Genk, making him a member of the Genkse School. In 1863, together with Louis Artan, he explored the wooded areas around Brussels and came into contact with artists painting en plein aire. During that time, he developed a predilection for creating more realistic landscapes than those he had studied. From 1865 to 1868, he lived in Kalmthout and focused on painting the typically desolate landscapes found in the Campine region. There, he met a group of like-minded artists. He returned to Brussels in 1868, and renewed his ties with the artists in Tervuren, thereby creating a link between the Kalmhoutse and the School van Tervuren. In 1882, he became a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Namur.Date and place of birt: | 19 august 1840, Elsene, Belgium |
