The De Vriendt brothers, Juliaan Joseph (1842–1935) and Albrecht François Lieven (1843–1900), were Belgian painters, both born at Ghent, sons of a decorative painter.[1]
Biography
The two brothers were close friends, and their works show marked signs of resemblance. Having received their early training from their father at Ghent, they removed to Antwerp, where they soon yielded to the influence of the painter Baron Henrik Leys.
Albrecht became director of the Academy of Fine Arts at Antwerp and was succeeded by his brother.[1]
Works
Albrecht's principal works are:
Jacqueline of Bavaria imploring Philip the Good to pardon her Husband (1871, Liege Gallery)
The Excommunication of Bouchard d'Avesnes (1877, Brussels Gallery)
Mural paintings in the Palace of Justice at Antwerp (1893)
The Christmas Carol (1894, Brussels Gallery).[1]
