Collection: Fernand Khnopff

Fernand Khnopff was a Belgian Symbolist painter and sculptor born in Bruges in 1858. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and became a leading figure in the Symbolist movement, which sought to express spiritual and emotional truths through art. Khnopff's works often feature mysterious, dreamlike scenes with a focus on introspection and spirituality. He was also known for his use of light and dark contrasts, and his works often have a somber, otherworldly quality. Khnopff's works were exhibited throughout Europe and the United States, and he became a highly influential figure in the Symbolist movement. He died in Brussels in 1921, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most important Belgian artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
