Eugène-François de Block

Eugène-François de Block (14 May 1812, in Geraardsbergen – 23 January 1893, in Antwerp) was a Belgian genre painter, etcher and draftsman.

After 1834, he lived in Antwerp, where he completed his artistic training with Ferdinand de Braekeleer.

At first, he was heavily influenced by De Braekeleer's work but, around 1860, broke free and developed his own, more refined use of color.

One of his students was the German painter, Ludwig von Hagn, who worked with him at his studios in Antwerp and Brussels.
