J.D.B. 209 quai st-antoine gand 1926 L.R. 138
Jules De Bruycker (Ghent, 29 March 1870 - there, 5 September 1945) is, just like James Ensor, counted among the most important Flemish etchers.
Old Ghent and especially the Sint-Niklaaskerk was his main source of inspiration. An exhibition of his works was organized in this church in 2008.
He became a professor at the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp. For a while he worked in the same studio as Charles-René Callewaert. During the First World War he lived in London and became world famous for his war prints. Typical of his art are depictions of old folk types, while his remarkable cathedrals (Rouen, Amiens, Antwerp) caused a sensation. Folk scenes in Paris, Brussels and Antwerp also depict everyday, often poverty-stricken life with virtuosity. 67257311
