Florent Crabeels

Florent Nicolas Crabeels (5 December 1829, Antwerp – 7 June 1896, Antwerp) was a Belgian genre and landscape painter.

At first, he painted scenes from villages and small town markets.

Later, he turned to landscapes from the Kempen region, and became an ardent supporter of painting en plein air.

Much of his work was done in the artists' colony at Wechelderzande, together with Isidore Meyers [nl], Jacques Rosseels (1828–1912), and Adriaan Jozef Heymans; a member of the Kalmthoutse School [nl] of landscape painting.

He became a Neo-Impressionist and returned to painting genre scenes around 1890.
