About the Artist:

Georges Croegaert was a Belgian academic painter who spent most of his career in Paris. He is known for his genre paintings of elegant society women and humorous depictions of cardinals executed in a highly realist style.

Born in Antwerp, Belgium on 7 October 1848, Croegaert studied at the prestigious Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. He was a painter of still lifes, genre and particularly portraits of young women dressed in the height of fashion rendered in his highly detailed technique, the emphasis on the textures and sheen of silks and satins.

In 1876 the 28-year-old Croegaert moved to Paris in search of more lucrative commissions and it was here as a painter of ‘cardinals’ that he made his reputation and achieved huge commercial success. Croegaert’s highly detailed technique lent itself perfectly to the portrayal of this genre; he depicted the excesses of the Cardinal’s lifestyle, their ornate furnishings, tapestries, glass and silverware. Demonstrating his virtuosity he captured the vivid reds and purples of the Cardinals’ robes together with the characterisation and humour in the faces of these faintly ridiculous figures.

Croegaert exhibited in Paris, Brussels and Vienna, his popularity extending throughout Europe and to the United States. He died in Paris in 1923 after a long and successful career.
