Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur

Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès (9 February 1880 — 31 May 1958) was a Belgian painter from Ixelles who lived the last part of his life in Bali.

Returning from Singapore, Le Mayeur bought a piece of land at Sanur beach and built a house.

[3] The beauty and splendid figure of Ni Pollok had made Le Mayeur enjoy his stay in Bali.

He was greatly impressed with the painter's work and therefore suggested to the couple that their house and all its contents should be preserved as a museum.

In 1958 Le Mayeur had a severe ear cancer, and accompanied by Ni Pollok he returned to Belgium to have a medical treatment.
