Adrien Le Mayeur de Merpres

Belgian painter, born on March 16, 1844 in Boisfort. Died in Brussels in 1923.

Postimpressionist painter of seascapes and landscapes.
He is part of the group of landscape painters of Termonde.
He started in Brussels in 1870 where he regularly exhibited at the Salons de la Ville. He also participated in the Paris Salons. He obtained two bronze medals at the Universal Exhibitions of 1889 and 1900.
He successfully exhibited in Paris, Munich, Vienna, Chicago and Moscow.
In 1911, he was awarded the Gold Medal in Munich and made a Knight of the Order of Leopold and the Order of Saint Michael of Bavaria.

He is considered one of the best marinists.
His easy, broad, bold and admirably supple touch imparts a poignant eloquence to his skies and waters.
Adrien Le Mayeur de Merpres observes the sea as a refined artist. He knows the structure of the waves and knows how to make them roll, rumble and splash to the horizon under large lucid skies.
Light, air and atmosphere flood his paintings.

Present in several museums: Brussels, Mons, Namur, Munich
