Biography:
Fernand Khnopff was the son of a wealthy magistrate who dropped out of law school to attend the Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in 1876. Three years later he moved to Paris and trained under French Realist painters. His first public exhibition was in Brussels in 1881. Khnopff developed a unique style of painting that became popular in portraiture in Brussels between 1884 and 1890. His approach was slightly Impressionistic, initially influenced by fellow Les XX member, James Ensor. The two colleagues eventually became rivals as they shifted their work in different directions. Khnopff’s international reputation came into fruition around 1900. About this time he began constructing his private villa and designing costumes and theater sets. He was supportive of Socialist causes like many of the other Symbolists. In addition to these achievements, Khnopff was also an illustrator, sculptor, designer, photographer, and writer.
