About Theodore Baron

  • Biography

    Théodore Baron (1840-1899) learned at the Academy Saint Luke in Brussels. He spent some time in Barbizon and some of his paintings of the Fontainebleau forest are preserved. After a stay of several years in Kalmhout, where he painted the surrounding nature, he returned to Brussels and is thus considered a link between the schools of Kalmhout and Tervuren. In 1882, he became professor at the Academy in Namur, whose director he became in 1894.

    Paintings by Baron can today be found in the museums of Antwerp, Mons, Ixelles, Ghent, Liège and Namur. Baron is today considered as one of the most important Belgian landscape painters and his works mark the transition to the Impressionism.
