Edgard Wiethase was a Belgian realist painter, born in Antwerp on August 31, 1881. He received his artistic training at the Antwerp Academy and the NHISKA under the tutelage of animal painter Frans Van Leemputten. After his studies, he joined the art group Als ik Kan in 1903, which brought together artists working in a realist style and focused on everyday life in Flanders. Wiethase was a realist and watercolorist painter of landscapes, rural scenes, interiors, portraits, and still lifes. His works were known for their lively and colorful style, which reflected the life and customs of Flanders. The technique he used for painting frescoes was also evident in his later works, which were often recognized by their particularly vibrant colors. Over time, Wiethase moved to the outskirts of Brussels, where he continued to paint rural landscapes and scenes of everyday life. His style evolved over the years, but he remained faithful to his realistic technique and colorful vision of Flanders.
