He was an animal painter, mainly dogs and cats and interiors. He was the son of Charles Van Den Eycken, Sr. who was his teacher. He was also a pupil of another master, Jos Stevens at the Brussels Royal Academy. He also attended the Louvain Academy of Fine Art. Van Den Eycken started by painting interior scenes, but was influenced by Joseph Stevens and concentrated almost exclusively on the representation of animals. From 1881 he exhibited regularly at the Salons of Brussels, Liege, Ghent, Antwerp, as well as in Holland, Spain and Germany. He painted several paintings for Queen Marie-Henriette of Belgium, most notably of dogs. Van den Eycken was a member of the famous group l’Essor. He obtained many medals. He received an honourable mention in 1895, a rare honour for a Belgian artist. Van Den Eycken died in Brussels in 1923. Today, his paintings are highly sought after and he is considered one of the finest painters of cats and dogs. His works can be found in important private and public collections worldwide, including the Museum of Antwerp, Brussels and Kortrijk. In Antwerp Museum there is an oil painting depicting “Cats” (1911). Van Den Eycken is listed in the prestigious book titled “Deux Siecles de Signatures des Artistes”.

  • English 19th century portrait of two seated King Charles Cavalier Spaniels dogs
    By James Cassie
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    James Cassie was born at Keithhall near Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, the son of a prosperous tea and spirit merchant. Although briefly a pupil of the artist James Giles, Cassie was largely self-taught. He began his career as a painter of animals and portraits, but on moving to Aberdeen he increasingly turned his attention to local seascapes and coastal scenes, especially at dawn and sunset. He favored these outdoor scenes but continued to paint some domestic subjects and portraits throughout his life. In 1869 he moved to Edinburgh and was elected an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy. Shortly before his death in 1879 he was elected an Academician.
