Louis Marie de Schryver, 1862 - 1942, Born in Paris in 1862, Louis Marie de
Schryver began his artistic career under the tutelage of the portrait painter
and orientalist Gabriel-Joseph-Marie-Augustin Ferrier. He exhibited for the
first time at the Paris Salon at the young age of 13, showing two works, both
still life canvases of flowers.
The choice of subject would permeate throughout the
entirety of his long career. He earned numerous awards from 1879 onwards,
including a number of honorable mentions at the Salon, as well as the Universal
Expositions of 1891, 1896 and 1900. Highly praised by both critics and the
public alike, de Schryver enjoyed enormous success during his lifetime, and his
works remain highly sought after. More on Louis Marie de Schryver
