king of the Belgians). As his youth disqualified him for the See also:medal of the Brussels See also:Salon, which otherwise would have been his, he was sent, by way of See also:compensation, by the See also:minister of See also:fine arts, as artist-delegate to See also:Suez for the opening of the See also:canal—a visit that was fruitful later on. In 187o, when he was yet only twenty-two years of See also:age, Wauters exhibited his great See also:historical picture of " See also:Mary of See also:Burgundy entreating the Sheriffs of See also:Ghent to See also:pardon the Councillors Hugonet and Humbercourt " (See also:Liege Museum) which created a veritable furore, an impression which was confirmed the following See also:year at the See also:London See also:International See also:Exhibition. It was eclipsed by the celebrated " Madness of See also:Hugo See also:van der Goes " (1872, Brussels Museum), a picture which led to the See also:commission for the two large See also:works decorating the Lions' See also:staircase of the Hotel de Ville—" Mary of Burgundy See also:- SWEARING (O.

swearing to respect the Communal Rights of Brussels, 1477 " and " The Armed Citizens of Brussels demanding the Charta from See also:Duke See also:John IV. of See also:Brabant." His other large compositions comprise " Sobieski and his See also:Staff before Besieged See also:Vienna " (Brussels Museum) and the See also:harvest of a journey to See also:Spain and Tangiers, " The Great See also:Mosque," and " See also:Serpent Charmers of Sokko," and a souvenir of his See also:Egyptian travel, " See also:Cairo, from the See also:Bridge of Kasr-el-Nil " (See also:Antwerp Museum). His vast See also:panorama —probably the noblest and most See also:artistic work of this class ever produced—" Cairo and the See also:Banks of the See also:Nile " (1881), 38o ft. by 49 ft., executed in six months, was exhibited with extra-See also:ordinary success in Brussels, See also:Munich, and the See also:Hague. Wauters is equally eminent as a portraitist, in his earliest See also:period exhibiting, as in his pictures, sober qualities and subtle grip, but later ondeveloping into the whole range of a brilliant, forceful See also:palette, and then into brighter and more delicate See also:colours, encouraged thereto, in his more See also:recent work, by his See also:adoption of See also:pastel as a See also:medium even for See also:life-See also:size portraits, mainly of ladies. His portraits, numbering over two See also:hundred, include many of the greatest names in See also:Belgium, See also:France, and See also:America (Wauters having for some years made See also:Paris his See also:chief See also:home). Among these may be named the See also:Baron Goffinet, the Baroness Goffinet, Madame Somzee (See also:standing at a piano), See also:Master Somzee (on horseback by the See also:sea-See also:shore), the Princess Clementine of Belgium (Brussels Museum), See also:Lady See also:Edward See also:Sassoon, Baron de Bleichroder, Princess de Ligne, See also:Miss Lorillard, a likeness of the artist in the See also:Dresden Museum, and M. Schollaert (See also:president of the Chamber of Deputies) —the last named an amazing example of See also:portraiture, See also:instinct with See also:character and vitality.

Between 1889 and 1900 the painter contributed to the Royal See also:Academy of London. Few artists have received such a See also:succession of noteworthy distinctions and recognitions. His " Hugo van der Goes," the work of a youth of twenty-four, secured the See also:grand medal of the Salon. He has been awarded no fewer than six " medals of See also:honour "—at Paris in 1878 and 1889; Munich, 1879; Antwerp, 1885; Vienna, 1888; and See also:Berlin, 1883.
