BIOGRAPHY:
Jean de la Hoese was a Belgian painter of portraits, landscapes and genre scenes.De la Hoese's father worked as a graphic designer at the Militair Kartografisch Instituut.Jean De la Hoese was a pupil of Auguste De Keyser (1859) and from 1859 until 1870 of the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts. His early works were very academic, but later on he evolved to a freer style.This painter of aristocratic female beauty was a master portrait painter who depicted several masterpieces, including the portrait of his father which is exhibited in the Brussels Royal Museum of Fine Arts.De la Hoese painted landscapes and genre scenes with elegant ladies in interiors (at the beginning of his career with an emphasis on the representation of fabrics, in the line of Florent Willems). Most of his portraits are presentations of important members of Belgium's higher social classes and highly educated. They express an exceptional unconventional liveliness. The Belgian government commissioned him to paint the posthumously portrait of the Belgian Queen Louise-Marie for the Palais de la Nation, the seat of the Belgian Federal Parliament.
