The two brothers were close friends, and their works show marked signs of resemblance. Having received their early training from their father at Ghent, they removed to
Antwerp, where they soon yielded to the influence of the painter
Baron Henrik Leys.
Albrecht became director of the
Academy of Fine Arts at Antwerp and was succeeded by his brother.[1]
