Tips

Dominiek Van Dooren

This artists' hostel was the cradle of the 19th century painters' colony, which gathered here around the figure of A.J. Heymans, their great example. The founders of Belgian Impressionism worked here. Heymans and his friend I. Meyers brought the philosophy of the 'Barbizon School', working in the open air and in the middle of nature, with them here. They had both been apprenticed there as young men. When finishing their work and in rainy weather, they used the studio of 'De Keizer'. In the side wall was a large window facing north.
