Herman Jean Joseph Richir, born December 4, 1866 in Ixelles and died March 15, 1942 in Uccle, was a towering figure in the Belgian art world. A skilled genre, nude, and portrait painter, he shaped an era and left a rich legacy of artwork that can still be found as fine art prints in galleries and private homes. Richir began his artistic career at the Saint-Josse-ten-Noode/Sint-Joost-ten-Node Academy of Art, where he was trained by renowned teachers Gustave Joseph Biot and Charles Hermans. In 1884, in his pursuit of artistic perfection, he moved to the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, where he further honed his skills under the tutelage of Jean Francois Portaels.
Just one year after joining the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts, in 1885, Richir received his first award from the Academy, marking his artistic breakthrough. Another important milestone in his career was winning second place in the Belgian Prix de Rome in 1886, finishing just behind the first-place Constant Montald. In the years that followed, Richir solidified his reputation by participating in prestigious art exhibitions. In 1889, he won a gold medal at the Triennial Fair in Ghent, and his works were shown at both the Paris Salons of 1889 and 1892 and at the World's Fair in Brussels in 1897. Many of these exhibited works are available today as fine art prints, allowing art lovers to have a piece of Richir's extraordinary talent and artistic vision in their own homes.
In 1900, Richir accepted a professorship in the nature drawing course at the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles and was later appointed professor of painting there from 1905 to 1927. Among his students were notable artists such as Louis Buisseret and Léon Navez, who later became known as important members of the "Nervia" group. In addition to his teaching duties, Richir assumed the role of director at the Academy several times between 1906 and 1927, finally stepping down from his position as director in 1927 to make way for his successor Victor Horta. Although he retired from academic life, Herman Richir's influence lives on in the Belgian art scene and beyond in his paintings and art prints.
