Joseph Denis Odevaere - Selfportrait -

Joseph Denis Odevaere, or Joseph-Désiré Odevaere (2 December 1775, in Bruges – 26 February 1830, in Brussels), was a Neo-Classical painter from the Southern Netherlands (now Belgium). He served as court painter to King William I.

His first art lessons came at the Kunstacademie Brugge , where he studied with François Wynckelman . He then moved to Paris, continuing his studies with Joseph-Benoît Suvée and Jacques-Louis David. In 1804, he was awarded the Prix de Rome for his painting The Death of Phocion. This earned him his first commissions, which he spent a year fulfilling prior to his departure.

He then spent eight years at several locations in Italy, copying the old masters and taking particular inspiration from Raphael. While there, he was one of a large group of artists chosen to provide decorations for Napoleon's visit at the Palazzo del Quirinale although, as it turned out, he never produced more than sketches. After that, he spent some time in Paris and received a Gold Medal from Napoleon. While there, he also worked with Godefroy Engelmann, one of the first lithographers in France.

An exhibition in Ghent two years later led to his appointment as court painter to King William I of the Netherlands in 1815. In this position, he began a campaign for the return of several major art works that had been looted from Bruges by the French Army; including pieces by Michelangelo, Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, and Gerard David. In thanks for his successful efforts, the City Council of Bruges voted to award him a gold medal in 1816. He was elected a fourth class corresponding member living abroad of the Royal Institute of the Netherlands in 1816.

From 1825 to 1829, he painted several works in support of the Greek War of Independence and styled himself "Joseph Dionysius Odevaere". He also wrote some treatises on art and was a regular, highly opinionated contributor to local periodicals.

In 1818, he married Sylvie de la Rue (1796–1845). After his death, in 1835, she married Joseph Van der Linden , Secretary of the Provisional Government of Belgium.

He was a founding member of the first Société des douze.

Franciscus Joseph Octave van der Donckt - Self portrait - 1789

Franciscus Joseph Octave van der Donckt (30 June 1757, Aalst - 16 August 1813, Bruges) was a Flemish portrait painter, miniaturist and pastellist. He is also referred to as Jozef Angelus Van der Donckt, as well as several other variations, too numerous to list.

After the early death of his father, his mother took him to her hometown of Bruges.

He had his first drawing lessons with an artist named Jacob De Rijcke, followed by painting lessons from Antoon Suweyns (1720-1789), Joseph-Benoît Suvée and Jan Anton Garemyn. At the same time, he studied the humanities at the Jesuit College. After graduating, his mother sent him to Marseille to learn the merchant trade.

He continued to be interested in art, however, and eventually moved to Paris, where he made the acquaintance of Louis Philippe I, Duke of Orléans and was allowed to copy paintings in his collection. He then travelled through Italy and returned to Bruges in 1791, becoming Director of the Academie voor Schone Kunsten. In 1796, he had a successful showing at the Salon in Ghent.

He is known primarily as a portrait painter, with a fondness for pastels. His most familiar works are a self-portrait and one of his niece, Sylvie de la Rue, who married the painter Joseph Denis Odevaere.

He also took the occasional student; notably Albert Gregorius. He is often confused with his son, François, a history painter about whom little is known.

Narcissus (1820) "Oil on canvas, unknown measures” [Groeningemuseum, Bruges, Belgium] -- Joseph-Denis Odevaere (1775 - 1830)

This naked youth with ivory skin and blonde curls corresponds to the Neoclassical ideal of beauty. It is Narcissus from Ovid’s classical tale Metamorphoses. Tired of hunting, he rests upon the shores of a lake. In love with his own reflection, he lingers by the water while his greyhound gently licks his leg.
