About Ducatel Louis
Émile Baes or Emile Baes, full name Emile Charles Robert Baes was a Belgian painter, pastel artist, draughtsman, printmaker, illustrator, art historian and writer. His range of subject matter was wide and included nudes, interiors with elegant women, genre scenes, history paintings, portraits, Orientalist scenes, landscapes and still lifes. He worked in a Post-Impressionist style, suited to his eroticised boudoir and bedroom scenes. He was skilled in the pastel technique and produced a number of etchings. He published in 1912 La physionomie du Christ dans l'art, an art historical work on the representation of Christ's body throughout art history. He further published in 1948 a limited edition book with his own illustrations under the title Les Dieux sadiques.
