Eugene Verboeckhoven (1799-1881) The Belgian painter Eugene Joseph Verboeckhoven was trained in drawing and embossing by his father, the sculptor Barthelemy Verboeckhoven. In 1847, he established a studio in Brussels, where he painted numerous animal depictions, particularly landscapes with sheep. His paintings are characterized by a careful drawing. In addition to his paintings, Verboeckhoven also has etched animal depictions. Works by Verboeckhoven are on display in numerous major museum collections, including the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Courtauld Institute of Art and the Royal Collection in London, as well as the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas.
The Belgian painter Louis-Pierre Verwee studied painting at the Academy of Kotrijk with Jean-Baptiste de Jonghe until 1824. Afterwards, he trained with Eugene Verboeckhoven in Ghent, and then in Brussels from 1827. He was friend with Constant Troyon and Courbet.

He mainly traveled through Italy, Holland and to London. He mostly painted landscapes and was especially successful with his winter landscapes.
