Lamorinière, François
(b Antwerp, 28 April 1828; d Antwerp, 3 Jan 1911). Belgian painter and engraver. He entered the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp in 1840 and studied with the Romantic landscape painter Jacob Jacobs (1812–79) between 1843 and 1847. Before 1850 Lamorinière drew and painted in the surroundings of Oudenaarde and Antwerp in a highly realist manner. His preference for a detailed perception of nature rather than a synthetic evocation went against the tide of landscape painting in Belgium. He exhibited for the first time in the Salon of Antwerp in 1849 with Last Rays of the Sun (Liverpool, Walker A.G.). The following year he became a freemason, having been introduced by his friend Victor Lynen, a businessman and collector who played an important role in the development of the artist’s career.
