Jean Baptiste Madou artwork • prints & multiples • previously for sale Gerard Ter Borch and his wife Geertruid

Madou was one of the most important Belgian genre painters of the 19th century. His paintings and watercolours, elaborated with great precision, have a humorous, sometimes moralizing undertone. They have been praised by critics and enthusiasts alike and Madou has received many high honours during his lifetime. He started his career as a calligraphist, portrait lithographer and cartographer, which explains his great attention to detail.
