SUMMER EXHIBITION PART I
The celebrated genre painter Gustave Léonard de Jonghe was best known for his lavish interior settings depicting fashionably elegant ladies surrounded by lush interiors. He studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels from 1844, his early works exploring historical and religious themes in the Realist manner. Relocating to Paris in 1855, his subject matter shifted to portraiture, genre scenes and occasionally landscapes in oil and sometimes watercolour. He often depicted mothers with their children in interior settings, aimed to evoke the quiet joys of family life among the prosperous Bourgoisie middle and upper class. His luxurious interiors and background settings depicted the fashionable details of the Belle Epoque period incorporating contemporary tastes such as the Japonism craze and Orientalist subjects.
