Henri Van Assche

[1] When he began showing a talent for drawing, he was given lessons in design and perspective by his father, who was also an amateur artist, then received formal training from Jean-Baptiste De Roy [fr].

After that, he made study trips through Switzerland and Italy, which developed his predilection for landscapes.

[2] Many of his works may be seen in public and private collections in Brussels, Ghent, Lille, and Haarlem.

One of his nieces and a nephew were also painters : Isabelle Catherine van Assche, who was one of his students,[3] and François De Marneffe [fr], the son of Pierre-Joseph De Marneffe, his brother-in-law, who was an art dealer.
