Jean Pierre François Lamorinière

It is not clear when or how long he stayed there but one work dated to 1854 is called Effect of the morning on a forest in Barbizon.

[3] From the mid-1850s the artist starts to gain success thanks to the support of the Brussels art dealer Gustave Couteaux.

The artist also starts to travel to find new subjects in Les Fagnes (1867), the banks of the Meuse (1868–1869), Germany (1869) and from the early 1870s he spent annually several months on the island Walcheren in the Netherlands.

He returned often to paint in the border town of Putte, Kapellen where in the mid-1870s he acquired a residence called The Pavillion.

The co-founders included Léon Abry, Constant Cap [de], Florent Crabeels, Edgard Farasyn, Egide François Leemans, Willem Linnig the Elder, Willem Linnig the Younger, Joseph Van Luppen [nl], Isidore Meyers [nl], Karel Ooms, Max Rooses, Hendrik Frans Schaefels, Lucas Victor Schaefels, Jan Stobbaerts, Frans Van Kuyck, Piet Verhaert, and Charles Verlat.

[1] Jean Pierre François Lamorinière was a painter and etcher whose main subject matter was the landscape.

He is regarded as a transitional figure in Belgian landscape painting between the Romanticism of Balthasar Paul Ommeganck and Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven and later Realism.

This was reflected in the strict construction and detailed analysis of his compositions, which emphasized the static, and his smooth, meticulous style of painting.
