Hippolyte Le Roy (1857–1943): Animated city view in winter, oil on canvas, dated (18)92 Work: 100 x 60 cm Frame: 103,5 x 62,5 cm Born in Liège, Hippolyte Leroy pursued his studies in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode and Ghent, where - at the Royal Academy of Drawing, Sculpture, and Architecture - he became a pupil of the sculptor Louis Van Biesbroeck. Leroy continued his training from 1881 to 1883 at the école des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where his mentor, Alexandre Falguière, assigned him to work on the decoration of the Arc de Triomphe. Upon briefly returning to Belgium, he participated in the design competition for the 1885 Antwerp World's Fair and was commissioned to create the eight-meter-high equestrian statues placed at the entrance. Finally, a scholarship from the Darchis Foundation in Liège enabled him to study at the Academia Internazionale in Rome from 1886 to 1892 and to travel across Italy.
