At the age of twenty-seven George Lemmers (1871-1944) was hailed as ‘a new Rembrandt’ when the portrait of his father was exhibited at the Salon in Antwerp in 1898. King Leopold II went so far as to congratulate ‘the father of such a talented painter,’ resulting in numerous portrait commissions. Despite his brilliant ability to capture personality, Lemmers painted a great variety of subjects, including townscapes, nudes, genre scenes and still-lifes. His academic technique, learned at the Antwerp and Mechlin Academies, incorporated the innovations of the French Impressionists in order to convey ‘the expression of his emotions with the full brush’ (Paul Caso ‘Le Soir’ 1951). Lemmers was made a knight of the Order of Leopold for his portraits of famous Belgians, and taught drawing at the Ecoles des Beaux Arts in Brussels. He died in Portugal, where he had taken refuge during the Second World War.
