Life

Jules Evariste was educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent between 1859 and 1870 . Like his father, he first learned the art of chasing, which he had been practicing professionally since 1861.

He made his painting debut in 1871 in the Salon of Ghent with the painting “Œdipe et sa fille se rendant en exil” ( Oedipus and his daughter go into exile ). In the following years he regularly took part in exhibitions in Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp . From 1872 to 1874 he traveled to Naples and Portici in Italy. As early as 1878, on the occasion of the second place in the preliminary round for the Rome Prize, he traveled again to Italy, which over time became his second home. From 1876 he became a portrait painter for the Ghent bourgeoisie, and in 1881 he became a member of the artistic team of the Ghent Art and Literature Circle. In 1879 he was appointed professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, where he stayed until 1908 and painters such as Gustave de Smet , Frits van den Berghe , Gustave van de Woestyne and Hippolyte Daeye were among his students. From 1892 he worked with Jean-Joseph Delvin on a reorganization of the academy courses and devoted himself to the education of his son Jules Pierre . After his academy career , he traveled annually to Bordighera , where he pursued his original job as a chaser. At the beginning of the First World War he completely emigrated to Bordighera.
