Georges Croegaert (Belgium, 1848-1923)Portrait of a Belle Epoque bride in a veil, signed lower left and dated '1885 Paris', oil on panel, 24.5 cm x 19.5 cm, within a moulded gilt gesso frame, the reverse with previous inventory numbers and stampsBorn in Antwerp in 1848, Georges Croegaert received his earliest academic training at the Académie des Beaux-Arts. In 1876, the artist moved to Paris where he spent the remainder of his life painting portraits and interior scenes. In Paris, he adopted van Beer's realism in representing women and became a rival of Francois Brunery and Jean Georges Vibert for the reputation as the leading artist in the specific genre of Cardinal paintings.
