Belgische kunstschilder Gaston Wallaert

Wallaert Gaston

Gaston Joseph Victor Wallaert was a Belgian painter and writer born in 1889 and died in 1954. He studied at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. He worked in Halen for some time. He then received a Darchis scholarship and stayed in Rome in 1929. Later he worked in Hasselt. His home there, at Kuringersteenweg (now house no. 223), can still be recognized by the woman's portrait painted above the front door. He preferred figure representations, Christian religious representations, genre landscapes, portraits and nude figures. (RKD)
