Rue des Fontenelles has dated this Antique River Landscape Painting to the 19th Century.
Jean-Baptiste Degreef began as a painter-decorator.
. He was the friend of Guillaume Vogels .
His art was influenced by Impressionism . He stayed for some time in the Netherlands , on the banks of the Scheldt and the Meuse . He focuses on the subtle and fleeting aspects of light. His touch is frank and spontaneous.
He discovered the Rouge-Cloître in the 1870s , in the company of his elder Hippolyte Boulenger (1837-1874), founder of the School of Tervueren . He moved there in 1883 and spent the last eleven years of his life there. His talent was prized at the time, and did not allow him to adequately support his family. The strength of his temperament and the sensitivity of his paintings influenced young artists such as Alfred Bastien (1873-1955) or Joseph François De Coene (nl) (1875-1950). He immersed himself in the tranquility of the Rouge-Cloître site to create Belgian native impressionism. He has several works in museums and collections.
