Fernand Toussaint

He specialised in painting portraits of women, still lifes and city-scapes, in the Impressionist, Art Nouveau, and Post-Impressionist styles.

[2] He is also a famed artist to depict beautiful floral still lifes and interiors, coastal views and seascapes.

In this genre his paintings have to be compare with the painters of his epoque the likes of Constant Permeke and Adrien le Mayeur de Merprès, that influenced much his own manner.

One of the Belgian art critics of that time Camille Lemonnier said about Toussaint, that he was "one of the painters that broadened the horizon of the peaceful and intimate landscape".

[2] Beginning from 1895 Toussaint had been receiving a lot of orders for commercial posters for different official events.
