Vincent Deckers (born July 8, 1864 in Düsseldorf ; † May 11, 1905 there ) was a German painter who worked mainly in Munich and Düsseldorf.
Life
Vincent Deckers was born as the son of the Düsseldorf architect Franz Deckers . Since his father wanted him to take up the profession of builder, he worked for two years in Bruno Schmitz's office . After that, however, he attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where he was a student of the painter Peter Janssen . He then spent a long time in Brussels as a student of Jan Frans Portaels . A year later he went to Paris , where he worked with Fernand Cormon and Jules Lefebre . He then traveled to Italy . After his return he settled in Munich, where he mainly worked as a portrait painter. He later moved back to Düsseldorf, where he had a larger exhibition in the Eduard Schulte Gallery in 1895 .
He became known more for the portraits he made of his father than for his genre paintings. For a few years after his death, his works were almost exclusively in private hands.
