The strict disciplines of the modeller gave the painter a trueness of form. He continued the tradition of Paul Potter and Ommeganck, and if he did not equal the former, he surpassed the latter.As a sculptor and painter with a romantic turn of mind, Verboeckhoven's depictions of animals, the main feature of his works, had an international reputation in his lifetime. They were executed according to a scumbling process which made them smooth and velvety, and appear bathed in a golden light. His success was particularly marked in the USA and England, where a large number of his works are held. Verboeckhoven was a member of the academies in Belgium, Antwerp and St Petersburg. The highest distinctions were heaped on him: the Cross of the Légion d'Honneur, the Order of Leopold of Belgium, the Order of Christ of Portugal, and the Iron Cross of Germany. He had a studio in Brussels, where he trained a large number of pupils. He sometimes worked in collaboration with other painters, notably with the Dutch painter Dawalle and with Werwée.Museum and Gallery HoldingsAix: Landscape with CattleAmsterdam: Pastures at Gooi; Landscape with Cattle; Starving WolvesAmsterdam (Stedelijk Mus.): Ewe and LambAntwerp: Cattle Grazing; Sheep and Chickens; Cows and Sheep; Rising Sea (with Charles Louis Verboeckhoven); Leaving for Market; The Artist; Studies of Animals (sculpture)Berlin: Livestock Going out to PastureBremen: Sheep in the CountryBrussels: Flock of Sheep Surprised by a Storm; Animals in the Countryside near Rome; Chickens(study)Frankfurt am Main: Fold of SheepGraz: Flock of SheepHamburg: PoniesKaliningrad: Man and CalfLa Fère: Animals RestingLeeds (City AG): Wooded Landscape (1869, with Klombech)Leipzig: White Horse; Sleeping Peasant and White Horse; Sheep in front of a Fold; Livestock, Storm; Sheep and Lambs; Sheep in a Fold; Cow, Goat and ChickensLiège: Byre, Cow and PoultryLiverpool: SheepLondon (Wallace Collection): Sheep and Cows (1844, oil/panel)Montreal: Interior of a Cowshed; Farmyard SceneMunich: Shed with SheepNantes: Sheep in a FieldNottingham: The TwinsOslo: Forest Landscape with AnimalsReading: LandscapeStockholm: Landscape, Dunes, Sheep RestingSunderland: Incoming TideSurrey Fine ArtsOur gallery carefully selects its paintings based on their quality and importance.
