Eugene Verboeckhoven Biography

(b warneton, nr ypres, 18 june 1798; d brussels, 19 jan 1881). painter and printmaker. son of the sculptor barthélemy verboeckhoven (1759–1840), he began drawing as a young child. his initial desire to become a sculptor led him to produce a few models (e.g. lion and tiger ; ghent, oudhdknd. mus. bijloke). in 1815 his family moved to ghent, where he attended the academie from 1816 to 1818, supported by the sculptor albert voituron (1787–1847) and later by a ghent patron, ferdinand van der haegen. from 1818 he was a pupil of balthasar-paul ommeganck, from whom he imbibed the classical landscape tradition that informed the best of his own work, such as landscape with cattle and a cowherd by a tree (1824; amsterdam, rijksmus.). other works from this period, for example the halting place (1826; priv. col., see exh. cat., p. 318), heralded a new realism in verboeckhoven’s work. he abandoned the human figure in order to produce prosaic but popular pictures of sheep, cattle and donkeys; these animals take on human characteristics in his work and are reminiscent of bourgeois portraits of the time.
