James Ensor

James Ensor, born in 1860 in Ostend and died in 1949 in Ostend, was a Belgian painter associated with the Expressionist and Symbolist movements. His works, such as 'Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889' and 'The Intrigue,' are celebrated for their satirical and imaginative depictions of society and biblical narratives, often characterized by a vibrant and grotesque style. Ensor's contributions to modern art and his exploration of the human condition have made him a notable figure in late 19th and early 20th-century painting, reflecting the complexities and contradictions of his time.
