Herman Verbaere (Wetteren, March 13, 1905 – Zottegem, August 26, 1993) was a remarkably versatile artist, known for his work as painter, draftsman, watercolorist, lithographer, and designer of stamps. Verbaere created numerous watercolors and painted landscapes of the Flemish villages along the Scheldt, on the coast, in Zeeland, and in the Kempen.
With his illustrations and posters, he gained international recognition and won various prizes for, among others, his Flemish landscape posters commissioned by the Belgian Railways. Verbaere was known for his notable brushwork, his strong sense of composition, and his masterful use of color.
