Biography

De Vigne was born on 30 January 1850 in Ghent.[1] The family were all artists: her father, Pieter, and uncle, Felix, were sculptors, and she and her sisters, Louise and Malvina, were painters.[2][3] It was her uncle, Félix De Vigne, taught her to paint; she later married his son, her cousin Jules De Vigne, who was a lawyer and a writer.[4]

During her lifetime De Vigne was known as a flower, and later portrait painter, who specialised in still life.[5] Her works often sold for over 1000 Belgian Francs, which was notable for a female painter at the time,[6] and were often exhibited alongside other female painters.[6] These women formed a new generation of Flemish artists.[7]

In 1887 her work was displayed in Buenos Aires in an exhibition of Belgian art, which opened there on 5 October.[8] Her painting "Fleur de thé" was sold to banker Lisandro Bellinghurst.[8] De Vigne exhibited her work in the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.[9]

De Vigne died on 3 June 1898 in Ghent.[1] She is buried in Ghent Westerbegraafplaats.[10] After her death, her husband published a selection of his writings, which were dedicated to her memory.[11]

Legacy

De Vigne's paintings are held in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent[12] and the Musées royaux des beaux-arts de Belgique.[13]
