Emile Hoeterickx artwork • painting • for sale Boating between Laeken and park Trois Fontaines in Vilvoorde, Belgium

The Belgian painter Emile Hoeterickx was educated at the Brussels Academy. His oeuvre includes marines, landscapes, cityscapes, genre scenes and a combination of these. Depicted here is the Willebroeksevaart, which used to run past the garden and the castle Laeken (Brussels) and the domain 'Drie Fonteinen', a castle, park and village that is currently in Vilvoorde. Evidently there was a lot of pleasure craft on this water and it was a popular outing for the inhabitants of Brussels in the 19th century.
