Both in 1876 and 1878 the Antwerp and Bruges painter Édouard De Jans (1855-1919) received the prestigious Prix de Rome, which led him to travel and study in Rome and Paris. Many of his works are in Belgian collections such as the Groeninge museum Bruges and the Museums of Fine Arts in Antwerp and Ghent.
