Biography He is the son of the poet Jan van Beers. He took the Fine Arts course in Antwerp with Alexandre Struys and lived for a few months together in an apartment tastefully furnished by Father Struys, a future antiques dealer, then they separated after an eventful trip to London. They had frequent contact with Jef Lambeaux there. He moved to Paris in 1878 and worked in the studio of Alfred Stevens and Struys joined the Weimar School of Fine Arts. He created a scandal in 1881 at the Brussels Salon where he exhibited two paintings. He is accused of having painted his painting Le Yacht La Mermaid on a photograph. He then proposed to entrust the analysis to experts, but a visitor scratched the canvas himself which added dimension to the matter. A committee of experts after study declared that there was no photograph. He entrusted illustrations to numerous periodicals such as the Revue Illustrée. He can be seen as a “worldly painter”.
