Verheyden, Isidore
(b Antwerp, 24 Jan 1846; d Brussels, 1 Nov 1905). Belgian painter. His father was the painter Jean-François Verheyden, and he trained at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, where he was taught by Joseph Quinaux (1822–95). Quinaux, who took his pupils on long walks in the countryside around Brussels, first instilled a love of nature in Verheyden. In 1866 Verheyden entered the studio of Jean-François Portaels, where he met several artists, such as Edouard Agneesens and Emile Wauters, who were keen to break with academic tradition. Verheyden first exhibited in 1870 with a number of portraits.
