Dieudonné Jacobs was born in 1887 in Montegnée, an industrial suburb of Liège. Coming from a modest background, he spent a rather unhappy childhood there in one of the area's countless workers' cottages.
Undeniably gifted at painting, he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Liège, where he studied under Adrien de Witte, Auguste Donnay, and Évariste Carpentier. In 1908, he received an initial grant, followed by a second one that enabled him to spend time in Paris. It was in Parisian museums that he discovered Monet and Impressionism. From that point on, his future path was clear.
He would divide his artistic life between the Belgian Ardennes and the French Riviera—specifically between Spa and La Garde (near Toulon)—and achieve great renown.
Renowned museums in Rome, Paris, Liège, and Spa have acquired some of his works.
