Artist Biography: Florent Crabeels was a painter of genre scenes, landscapes and animals. He received his artistic training at the Academy of Antwerp under the tutorship of Jacob Jacobs and Willem Linnig. In the 1860s he broke loose from the Academic style to become one of the promoters of the Antwerp Realism. He painted together with Isidore Meyers, Jacques Rosseels and Adrien-Joseph Heymans. Crabeels was a follower of the "School of Kalmthout" and the "School of Dendermonde". He was a founding member of the artistic group "L'Art Indépendant" in 1887.
