Louis Dubois. Louis Dubois was a Belgian painter who specialized in landscapes and portraits in a naturalistic style.
He also painted genre and still-life subjects. Louis Dubois was born in 1830 in Brussels.
He died of a respiratory illness in Brussels in 1880 at the age of 50. Louis Dubois belonged to a group of artists who, in the style of the second half the 19th Century, rebelled against the traditional painting of the past in favor of the style of this period. With the painters Théodore Baron, Louis Artan, Edmond Lambrichs, F. Foudin, on March 1, 1868, he became one of the founders of La Société Libre des Beaux-Arts, the society was officially established in 1868 as Comité de Salut Public revolutionnaire, pour la libération de l'Art according to Lucien Solvay.
Rebellious such as those in the school of Courbet, they scorned the rules of the Academy and the aesthetics currently accepted; the artists of the Free Society for the Fine Arts freely and uniquely interpreted nature and reality, without following a common discipline, and stated their motto: Liberté et Sincerité and thus started a vehement controversy. To make known and spread their realist philosophy, in 1871 they created L'Art Libre an art and literary journal under Leon Dommartin's direction; it was published on the 1st and 15th of each month.
