The life
1858–1921Born Grembergen, near Dendermonde, Belgium
Fernand Khnopff was a leading Symbolist painter in Brussels and a founder of Les XX, a group of avant-garde artists. His pictures are still and mysterious, often of people lost in thought. Our card is his portrait of five-year-old Jeanne Kéfer, painted in 1885 and one of his most admired works.
