The Life and Training of Eduard Quitton

Born in Péruwelz, Belgium, Eduard Quitton was the son of Léopold Joseph Quitton, a carpenter, and Louison Quinquanpoix. His formal artistic education began between 1856 and 1858 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tournai, where he studied under the painter Joseph Stallaert. His talent led to further refinement of his skills from 1859 to 1861 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, supported by a grant from the permanent deputation of the Province of Hainaut. After establishing himself in Antwerp in the early 1870s, he married Maria Ludovica Josepha Van Nuland in 1897.

Artistic Style and Notable Works

Quitton was a realist painter whose repertoire included landscapes, genre scenes, animalier subjects, and still lifes. He was particularly noted for his finely finished depictions of poultry and various bird groups, often presented as trophies suspended by a string against a wooden board of oak or fir. His work has been featured in numerous Belgian triennial exhibitions, including those in Ghent, Brussels, and Antwerp, as well as international exhibitions in Chicago and Bordeaux.

His notable works held in prestigious collections include:
