Théo van Rysselberghe

(Belgian, 1862–1926)

Théo van Rysselberghe was Belgian painter and designer best known for his Neo-Impressionist works. Greatly influenced by the Pointillism of Georges Seurat, Van Rysselberghe adopted the scientific approach to color theory in his paintings of landscapes and portraits. Born on November 23, 1862 in Ghent, Belgium, he studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Making several trips to Morocco early in his career, Van Rysselberghe produced paintings in an Orientalist fashion similar to that of his teacher Jean-François Portaëls. He befriended a number of international artists during the 1880s, including the American painters William Merritt Chase and John Singer Sargent. During this time, Van Rysselberghes transformed from a fastidious realist to an eager participant in Impressionist techniques. The artist’s frequent trips to Paris, led to him to see the work of Seurat in 1886, an event which quickly redetermined Van Rysselberghe’s own work, leading him to paint Coastal Scene in 1892. Despite his fervent assimilation of Pointillism during the 1890s, by the turn of the century he had evolved away from it and devoted himself to creating decorative arts in an Art Nouveau style. The artist died on December 13, 1926 in Saint-Clair, France. Today, Van Rysselberghe’s works are held in the collections of the National Gallery in London, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others.
