Aloïs de Beule

Aloïs De Beule (27 August 1861 in Zele – 15 December 1935 in Ghent) was a Belgian sculptor.

He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Sint-Lucasschool in Ghent where he won the first prize in sculpture in 1888.

They began in a barn in the Sint-Pietersdorp (Sint-Pieters-Aalst) district of Ghent, on the spot where Het Ros Beiaard stands - he produced that sculpture for the World Exhibition of 1913 in Ghent, in collaboration with Domien Ingels, an animal sculptor, and it proved a breakthrough for both of them.

De Beule was also later commissioned by the architects Jean-Baptiste Bethune and Valentin Vaerwyck.

His pupils included Geo Verbanck, Leo Sarteel, Oscar Sinia, Jules Vits and Modeste Van Hecke Media related to Alois De Beule at Wikimedia Commons
