Edouard Agneessens (24 August 1842 – 20 August 1885) was a Belgian painter[1] born in Brussels. He studied under Jean-François Portaels from 1859 at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels,[2] and in 1869 won the Prix de Rome.[3] In 1868, he was one of the founding members of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.
Agneessens later built up quite a career in Saint-Petersburg, but returned to Brussels in the 1880s. In the latter part of his life he suffered from a mental disorder. His works include Standing Male Nude (1870), Ladies by a Piano, and Bloemenstilleven. He died in 1885 in Uccle.
