Description from the seller
Frans Van Damme moved for his artistic training successively to the Academies of Dendermonde (among others in 1874-1875), Sint-Niklaas and Antwerp (1877-1879). He lived for a period in Antwerp and from 1881 in Brussels.
He was represented in 1887 at the ‘Première Exposition Française’ in Tunis with De Schelde and won a gold medal there. As a marine painter he had a studio in Zeebrugge.
He depicted marine scenes, fishing scenes, the Scheldt, harbour and coastal views and landscapes from the Waasland. He would have been a teacher at the Academies of Antwerp and Brussels, but no evidence was found. From 1903 he regularly participated in the Paris Salons.
His work is in diverse museum collections.
