This extensive lexicon provides alphabetically arranged biographical information on Belgian Romantic painters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Alongside biographical entries it contains bibliographical references information on museums holding works by the artists and numerous reproductions of paintings and artists' signatures. The broad definition of the Belgian school allows the book to include both artists born in Belgium and painters whose careers or artistic identity were closely connected with the country. The publication is consequently an important reference source for the identification and study of nineteenth-century Belgian painting.
