François-Joseph Boulanger
François-Joseph Boulanger (born August 9, 1819 in Ghent ; † November 1, 1873 there ) was a Belgian vedute painter.
He was born the son of French immigrants, François-Joseph Boulanger and Marie-Catherine de Puysseleir.
Boulanger was trained as a painter at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Ghent from 1841 to 1844 with Theodoor de Heuvel and in 1844 with Edouard De Vigne .
He made his debut at the Salon of 1841 in Ghent with a genre scene. He soon devoted himself to the genre of vedute painting, with which he was henceforth present in many prominent salons in Belgium.
He showed his works at the art exhibitions in Antwerp in 1849, 1852, 1855, 1858 and 1861 and in Brussels in 1850 and 1866.
In the last years of his life he became addicted to alcoholism and died in an asylum.
His younger brother Jules Joseph Boulanger (1822–1868) was also a painter.
