A prolific and successful painter, Toussaint was a luminary in Belgian painting during the early 20th century. Amongst his many works, Toussaint painted landscapes, genre scenes, portraits, interiors, and still lifes. He was also a talented draftsman, engraver, and watercolor painter. Marion Marchi asserts that Toussaint “remains the uncontested master of the grace and charm of women.” Toussaint studied under Jean-Francois Portaels at the Academie des Beaux-Arts in his native town of Brussels. He later exhibited with the Salon des Artistes Francais de Paris, winning a third-class medal in 1901. |
