Théo van Rysselberghe (1862–1926), Belgian neo-impressionist, born Ghent, died Saint-Clair, France. Studied at the Academy of Ghent and Académie Royale in Brussels. Co-founded Les XX in 1883. Saw Seurat’s La Grande Jatte in Paris in 1886, brought pointillism back to Belgium. Three trips to Morocco produced orientalist works. Best known for portraits and landscapes in pointillist technique, major works include “The Reading” (1903), “Madame Charles Maus” (1890), and “Port Cette” (1892). Worked in oil on canvas, pastels, watercolours, drawings, etchings, posters, and sculpture. Moved away from pointillism after 1903, turned to female nudes and Mediterranean landscapes in his later years.
Around eighteen hundred catalogued works across all media. Collections at the National Gallery London, Musée d’Orsay Paris, MoMA New York, Museum of Fine Arts Ghent. “Port Cette” sold for 2.6 million euros at auction in 2005. Buried beside painter Henri-Edmond Cross at Lavandou cemetery.
