Fernand Khnopff was not only one of the main representatives of the so-called Belgian Symbolism, as he had a lasting influence, but also a painter highly esteemed in Paris and London. Although he was attracted to art and especially to painting throughout his life, he initially studied law at the family's home in Brussels at his father's insistence. But after only a short time, at the age of 20, he began training at the Brussels Academy of Art, where he had such famous teachers as Jean-François Portaels and Xavier Mellery, among others. Initially he devoted himself to portrait painting and often painted naturalistic landscapes.
The first changes in his preferences followed after Khnopff gained important inspirations for him on various trips to Paris and England. Especially the artists of the Pre-Raphaelites, who at that time were mainly influenced by Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, had taken a liking to him. But also a meeting with the French painter Gustave Moreau is considered to have been groundbreaking for the development of Fernand Khnopff, who henceforth devoted himself to Symbolism and found pleasure in integrating mystical elements into his works. Although he now spent a lot of time in Paris and later also in London, the art scene of his home country Belgium was still close to his heart. For example, together with James Ensor and others, he founded the artists' association Société des Vingt, which was aimed at Belgian artists and artists living in Belgium. After further studies in Paris at the renowned Julian Academy, he moved to London for a longer period of time, where he met many of the Pre-Raphaelite artists he admired.
One of Fernand Khnopff's most important creative periods is the period from his first exhibition at the Paris Salon in 1884, in the years that followed he exhibited a total of 34 very detailed portraits. His favourite model was his sister Marguerite, with whom he lived together in a house in Brussels. Fernand Khnopff was not only known for his paintings, but also as a sculptor and correspondent for the British art magazine "The Studio", for which he mainly reported on the art scene in Brussels. The clear style of Fernand Khnopff inspired many of his colleagues. Thus he is seen by experts as one of the pioneers of German Symbolism with his prominent representative Franz von Stuck. Another artist who was very impressed by Khnopff's works was the well-known Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, who became aware of him through an exhibition in Vienna.
