Edmond De Schampheleer

Edmond De Schampheleer (21 July 1824, in Brussels – 12 March 1899, in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek) was a Belgian landscape painter and engraver.

After completing his studies with Eugène-François de Block in Antwerp, he set himself up as a landscape painter; taking a realistic approach, derived from Théodore Fourmois and the French artists of the Barbizon School.

He undertook a number of journeys in search of motifs; visiting Bavaria, the Netherlands and France, where he associated with the artists in Barbizon.

He was a close friend of the animal painter, Edmond De Pratere [nl].

His students included Clemens Van den Broeck (1843-1922) and Euphrosine Beernaert.
