Fernand Stiévenart

Fernand Joseph Jules Stiévenart (21 May 1862 in Douai – 22 January 1922 in Uccle) was a French landscape painter; associated with the artists' colony at Wissant.

After completing his primary education in Douai, he began his artistic studies with a local painter, François-Constant Petit (1819-?).

From 1878 to 1880, he studied at the École des Beaux-arts with Gustave Boulanger and others; winning several awards.

Shortly after, a terrible shipwreck occurred near Wissant, so he joined with his fellow painters, Adrien Demont, Pierre Carrier-Belleuse and Félix Planquette [fr] to create a company called "Flotsam"; devoted to replacing the fishing equipment that had been lost.

Toward the end of his life, he and Juliette moved to Uccle, where they had built a large mansion.
