About the artist
Edmond De Schampheleer was born on July 21, 1824, in Brussels, Belgium. After receiving his education from Eugène De Block (1812-93) in the city of Antwerp, Schampheleer profiled himself as a painter of landscapes. His aim was to depict a scene as objectively as possible, from an interesting perspective aesthetically. Throughout his life, the artist undertook various trips -as did most landscape painters- which led him to Beieren, the Netherlands, France, and other countries. Concerning his relation to other painters, we know of a close friendship between De Schampheleer and Edmond De Pratere, a landscape and animal painter.

A particular influence of De Schampheleer's work can be seen in the work of L. Pullinckx. Together with Charles De Groux, Duwée, Félicien Rops, Camille Van Camp and Otto Von Thoren he illustrated Contes Brabançons of Charles De Coster, a wooden engraving of William Brown, 1861. He was also one of the illustrators of the book Les Légendes Flamandes of Charles De Coster. In 1869 the artist was knighted and in 1899 he passed away on March 12.
