Henriette Browne
(1829 - 1901)

Henriette Browne was the pseudonym for Mme Jules de Saux, née Sophie Boutellier (1829-1901). She specialised in genre scenes, especially Near-Eastern and religious subjects, as well as portraits. She also worked as an engraver. She started exhibiting at the Salon in Paris in 1853 and exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, between 1871 and 1879. This painting is a fine example of Henriette Browne’s output as it combines a genre scene, a little girl distracted while doing her homework and a child portrait. The interest in everyday life and close observation of nature is characteristic of the French Realist movement emerged in the 1840s.

 Abraham Bloemaert
(1566 - 1651)
 

Abraham Bloemaert was a Dutch painter and printmaker who used etching and engraving. He initially worked in the style of the "Haarlem Mannerists", but by the beginning of the 17th-century altered his style in line with the new Baroque style that was then developing. He mostly painted history subjects and some landscapes. He was an important teacher, training most of the Utrecht Caravaggisti.

Lynx
Created on August 8, 2025
50 Rue Ferdinand Buisson, 62200 Boulogne-sur-Mer, France

Mexican-Spanish artist duo Alegria Del Prado has unveiled a striking mural in Boulogne-sur-Mer, centered around a majestic lynx crafted from a tapestry of animals and plants. This surreal and poetic fresco invites viewers to rediscover the hidden beauty of nature, often overlooked in urban life, through intricate details like butterflies, birds, flowers, snails, and beetles. The lynx, Europe’s largest feline and a discreet presence in France, symbolizes the wild spirit that quietly persists beneath the surface of modern cities.


It so happens that this summer there was, after a hiatus of a couple of years, an action to create some murals in the district of Antwerp where I live. It was called Walls of Boho 2025.
One of these was just around the corner for me.

Brian Peterson
B. 1986

Brian Peterson is an artist based in Miami, Florida who works in Southern California. Brian’s use of vibrant colors and simplified geometries to capture the essence of the human spirit is what some have called a “contemporary street art” style. Drawing on his design background as an award-winning automotive designer and his Christian faith, Brian portrays his subjects in a form that is minimalistic, yet from a Heavenly perspective. Brian’s work can be seen in homeless shelters across the United States as well as gracing the walls of high-ends shopping facilities like Ovation Hollywood (formerly Hollywood & Highland) in Los Angeles. Brian’s humanitarian and advocacy work, which began with painting his neighbors experiencing homelessness, has led him to be featured in BBC’s Amazing Humans, The Huffington Post, NPR, and a documentary film Faces of Santa Ana. His love for art, his community, and Jesus led him to found Faces of Santa Ana, a non-profit organization focusing on homelessness and the rehabilitation of his neighbors. Faces of Santa Ana has since expanded into Faces of Mankind, sprouting in cities across the US, such as Anaheim; Riverside, CA; Detroit, MI; Miami, FL; and Jackson, TN.
