The Life and Art of Walter Vaes

Born in Borgerhout, Belgium, Walter Vaes was a painter and printmaker whose artistic journey spanned from 1900 to 1958. He received his formal training in painting and engraving under Piet Verhaert and later studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp under Albrecht De Vriendt. His early career was marked by significant recognition, including winning the Belgian Prix de Rome in painting in 1904, which allowed him to travel through Italy. During the First World War, he resided in Veere, Netherlands, before returning to Borgerhout in 1919. His professional standing was further solidified through various appointments and honors, including being named to the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp and being elected to the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and Arts.
