He studied at Antwerp and under Wappers, and exhibited in 1851 his "Meeting of Baldwin I. with his daughter Joan at Constantinople in 1206." His picture of Coriolanus, partly completed in 1852, obtained for him a stipend which enabled him to reside in Eome till 1857. While there he painted Old Testament subjects and legends of the saints. In 1860 appeared his " Widow of Jacob van Ar-tevelde." His "Banished by Alva" (1861) obtained for him in 1862 a professorship at Weimar, which he filled till April, 1872, when he returned to Antwerp. His works produced subsequent to 1862 include "The Eeturn to Antwerp of the Parties who had been banished by Alva," and " The Reception by Louis XIV. of a Deputation from the Doge of Genoa " (1864); "Negotiations of Citizens of Ghent with Philip the Bold in 1388 for the surrender of that city " (1865); " Queen Philippa of England relieving the Poor of Ghent" (1866); and "Hans Pleinhorn, a Merchant of Nuremberg, surprised with his Family while engaged in Protestant Worship, by Spanish-Roman Catholic Detectives" (1868). He has been lately employed in painting "The Youth of Luther" as one of the frescoes for the Wartburg.
