🖼️ About Hermann Courtens
Hermann Courtens (Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, 1884 – Ixelles, 1956) was the son of Franz Courtens and brother of Alfred Courtens – a family of renowned Belgian artists. He studied at the Brussels Academy led by Is. Verheyden and developed a preference for floral arrangements, Campine interiors, genre scenes, cityscapes and portraits. His style is characterized by warm color palette, confident linework and impasto realism with an impressionistic touch.
He illustrated a poetry collection by Marcel Wyseur, among other things, traveled through Europe and Egypt, and was severely wounded during WWI. Later he became a professor at the Higher Institute in Antwerp. His work is included in museums in Antwerp and Bruges, and mentioned in BAS I (Paul Piron).
