Life

edit

Wytsman was born as Juliette Trullemans on 14 July 1866 in Brussels in Belgium.[1]

She first studied under Henri Hendrickx at the Bischoffsheim Institute in Brussels. She later worked in the workshop of Jean Capeinick [nl] in Ghent, where she specialized in the painting of flowers.[1][2]

At Capeinick's workshop, she met painter Rodolphe Wytsman. He was a founding member of Les XX and introduced her to this circle of avant-garde artists. They married in 1886 and moved to Linkebeek, near Brussels, in 1892. During World War I, they fled Belgium and lived in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.[1][2]

Wytsman died on 8 March 1925, at the age of 58, in Ixelles in Belgium.[1]

Painting

Wytsman was an impressionist painter of landscapes and gardens.[2][3]

Wytsman exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.[4]

The Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp,[5] the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels,[6] and the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent[7] have paintings of Wytsman in their collections.
