Gustaaf Vanaise
Belgian, 1854–1902
Gustaaf Vanaise was a Belgian Post-Impressionism artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp. Gustaaf Vanaise was born in Ghent.
Gustave Vanaise (birthname: Gustavus Antonius Maria Vanaise) (4 October 1854 in Ghent - 2 July 1902 in Saint-Gilles/Sint-Gillis) was a Belgian historical, portrait, genre, nude, landscape and still life painter. He set as his goal the revival of history painting in Belgium by creating large canvases depicting glorious scenes from national history. He also painted some Orientalist scenes.
Despite his commercial success, his academic and realistic style had started to fall out of favour during his lifetime even as his later works became brighter in colour and looser in touch under the influence of contemporary art trends.
