His first contribution to the Brussels See also:Salon was " The Faun's See also:Toilet " of 186g, and thereafter he began to produce See also:work of a high and novel See also:- ORDER

order in every class of See also:sculpture, and soon, along with See also:Paul de See also:Vigne, became recognized as the See also:leader of the See also:section of the new Belgian school of sculpture which, while aiming at truth to See also:life, allowed itself nevertheless to be inspired by the classic perfection of the See also:art of See also:Greece and the spirit of the See also:Italian See also:Renaissance. Van der Stappen has shown his greatest See also:power in decorative sculptures such as we see in the decoration on the Palais See also:des Postes, Brussels (1872), as well as the See also:pediment " Orchestration " for the See also:Conservatoire de Musique, and the See also:noble See also:bronze See also:group, " The Teaching of Art," on the See also:facade of the See also:Palace of See also:Fine Arts, Brussels. Among his other decorative work are the statues for the See also:Alhambra See also:Theatre and the See also:caryatides for the See also:house of the architect M. de Curte (1874). His best-known monuments are those to " See also:Alexandre Gendebien " (1874) and " See also:Baron Coppens," at Sheel (1875). His statues include " See also:- WILLIAM

The bronze group " Ompdrailles " was acquired by the Belgian See also:government (1892). In 1893 the sculptor began his collaboration with Constantin See also:Meunier for the elaborate decoration of the botanical gardens of Brussels, and the result of the connexion may be
seen in " The Builders of Cities," a group which might almost have come from his See also:companion, so strongly is it imbued with the sentiment and illustrative of the types of the " socialistic art " of Meunier.
