Emile Claus 1849-1924 België
Émile Guillaume Peyre est le digne représentant du milieu des collectionneurs sur lequel repose l’Union centrale au XIXe siècle. Peyre apporte à l’association les subsides financiers nécessaires au développement de l’institution et permet au musée de disposer d’une collection d’art ancien d’envergure internationale.
Emile Claus was a Belgian painter. As a child he went to the Academy of Waregem to learn how to draw. He graduated from the Academy with a gold medal. Although his father allowed him to take drawing classes, he did not fancy an artist's career for his son. The urge to paint remained and Claus wrote a letter for help to the famous composer and musician Peter Benoit, who was an occasional visitor of the family. With some effort, Benoit managed to convince Claus' father to allow his son to train at the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. After graduating, he stayed to live in Antwerp. In 1883 Claus moved to Astene (East-Flanders, Belgium), where he stayed until his death. He enjoyed a beautiful view across the river Lys. The space and light of the country house clearly inspired him. Stimulated by his friend, the author Camille Lemonnier, and influenced by the French impressionists, like Claude Monet whose works he got to know during his trips to Paris in the 1890s, Claus gradually shifted from naturalistic realism to a very personal style of impressionism called 'luminism', because of the luminous palette he used. His paintings the Beet Harvest (1890) and The Ice Birds (1891) represent important turning points in this evolution.
Belgian painter Emile Claus (1849-1924) was born in Sint-Eloois-Vijve, a village in West-Flanders (Belgium), at the banks of the river Lys. Emile was the twelfth child in a family of thirteen. Father Alexander was a grocer-publican and for some time town councillor. Mother Celestine Verbauwhede came from a Brabant skipper’s family and had her hands full with her offspring.
