About Camille Venneman

  • Biography

    Camille Venneman (b. 1827 Ghent; d. 1868 Schaerbeak) was a painter
    of genre and anecdotal scenes. Active in Antwerp, Belgium, he was a
    pupil of his more famous father, Charles Karel Ferdinand Venneman
    (1802-1875) whose works are represented in museums such as the New
    Pinacothek in Munich.

    Venneman painted in the circle of Henri De Braekeleer (1840-1888),
    the most important 19th Flemish painter prior to Ensor, with works in
    the Musee d'Orsay and San Francisco Fine Arts Museum. Both Henri and
    Camille's father studied under Adrien De Braekeleer (1818-1904).

    Camille's sister Rosa (c. 1825-1909), also a painter, occasionally
    was responsible for staffage in her brother's works.
