Gustave Flasschoen (Sint-Jans-Molenbeek 1868 - 1940 Brussels) was a Belgian painter, draftsman, illustrator and graphic artist. He was educated at the Academy in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, under F. Stroobant and at the Academy in Brussels (1887-1890). He worked as an illustrator at the Petit Bleu and traveled to the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, New York and North Africa to make reports. After photography had replaced the work of the illustration artists, he was able to devote himself entirely to his painting. In Algeria and Morocco he often found inspiration for his lively scenes with figures and horsemen, cityscapes and landscapes. His realistic style is characterized by great technical flexibility and a bright brilliant color palette.
