Géo Bernier (26 July 1862 – 28 December 1918) was a Belgian painter of landscapes and portraits, but principally of horses.
Bernier's artistic talents were discovered early on by Ferdinand Marinus, his drawing teacher in the college of Namur.
When he moved to Brussels in 1880, he received an education from Michel Van Alphen, a somewhat lesser-known landscape painter.
Bernier joined the "Compagnie brésilienne des Tramways bruxellois" and during this time, he took advanced courses in equine anatomy at the Brussels School of Veterinary Medicine.
Through his acquaintance with Alfred Madoux, director of the magazine "l'Etoile belge", he was able to make sketches in his stables in Auderghem.
