Fernand Toussaint

Fernand Toussaint Biography

Fernand Toussaint was described by Mario de Monchi as the “The unrivalled master of feminine grace and charm”. Toussaint became consumed with the desire to describe and interpret elegance and beauty. The feminine form revealing both the sensuous and refined was always evident in his abundance of portraits and genre.

Although he was to become synonymous with the study of elegance and portraiture he was very accomplished in other areas of painting such as still life, landscapes and topographical subjects, all of which display his excellent knowledge of line, form, colour and composition.

Exhibited at: Gallery XXth, Lefarne Gallery, Mussee G Charlier in Brussels, Mussee Royaux des Beaux Arts de Belgique, Museum Vleeshuis in Antwerp.
