School is Out! is a 1862 oil by Eugène De Block, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
The painting "School is Out!" by Eugène De Block shows a chaotic scene of people in front of a building. The crowd is in disarray, with some individuals lying on the ground and others standing or walking around. The atmosphere appears to be one of confusion and possibly even panic. In the foreground, a person is seen holding a stick or staff, which may be contributing to the commotion. The overall mood of the painting is one of disorder and upheaval. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the technique of chiaroscuro, which is used to create strong contrasts between light and dark.
Eugène-François de Block (14 May 1812, in Geraardsbergen – 23 January 1893, in Antwerp) was a Belgian genre painter, etcher and draftsman.
