The Belgian artist studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, where he met James Ensor (1860-1949) and Fernand Khnopff (1858-1921), among others. Here we see the Place de la Bourse in Brussels with the eponymous building in the background, which dominates powerfully over the events taking place in front of it and yet stands out elegantly in the hazy light against the sharply defined vehicles, figures and buildings. The 1873 building was constructed on the site of the former Marché au Beurre, which itself had been built on the site of a 13th century monastery. (1401488) (13)
