Measurements: Framed - 19 5/8” x 27 1/4” Canvas - 15 5/8” x 23 5/8” Théodore (Théo) Hannon (1851-1916) was a Belgian painter, watercolorist, engraver, and man of letters. As a man of letters, he was a scenarist, theatrical-parodist, and poet. Hammond first followed in the footsteps of his deceased father, by enrolling in a study of the sciences (1870-1871) and then medicine (1871-1873) at the Free University of Brussels. But before he graduated, he pivoted away from medicine toward the fine arts. He re-enrolled at the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles (Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels), and took Camille van Camp as his master. He became a member of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts and then in 1875, together with several other artists including Alfred Verhaeren, Louis Artan, Félicien Rops and Périclès Pantazis, became a founding member of a new, anti-conformist group: La Chrysalide. At this same time, he rejoined the International Society of Watercolorists, founded by Rops in 1869. At the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, he became friends with the young James Ensor and, around 1880, introduced him to his sister and her husband, Ernest Rousseau, who went on to introduce Ensor into the artistic and intellectual circles of the capital at that time.
