Jean De la Hoese
Jean De la Hoese (born February 28, 1846 in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean / Sint-Jans-Molenbeek , † 1917 in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode / Sint-Joost-ten-Node ) was a Belgian portrait painter.
Jean De la Hoese, born the son of a cartographer, began his artistic training for a few months in 1859 with Auguste De Keyser and continued it from 1859 to 1870 at the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles . He was also a student of Jean-François Portaels .
Following the example of Jean-Baptiste Madou and later Alfred Stevens , he mainly painted portraits of beautiful women in elegant clothes.
He became a member of the Société libre des beaux-arts. Gradually he turned away from academism and adopted the painting style of old Dutch masters.
His success as a painter of the elite earned him the commission for the posthumous official portrait of Queen Louise-Marie for the Palace of the Nation .
In 1900 he had a house built at 88 Rue de Livourne by the architect Édouard Elle and decorated with a sgraffito (thistle) by the painter and decorator Gabriel Van Dievoet . He spent the end of his life in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode at 66 rue Potagère.
