François-Antoine Bossuet

François-Antoine Bossuet (21 August 1798 Ypres – 28 September 1889 Saint-Josse-ten-Noode) was a painter and draughtsman of the Belgian school.

Bossuet is known for his depictions of the landscapes, cities and monuments of Spain and Italy, with an emphasis on historic places, occasionally with genre scenes of everyday life.

He is noted for the excellence of perspective in his paintings, on which he wrote a dissertation in 1843.

[1] His fascination with Spain and Italy stemmed from what had become something of a tradition for romantic European painters.

Accordingly, he visited Andalusía and saw its important buildings like the Alhambra of Granada.
