Albert Isidore De Vos was a Belgian artist born in 1868 in Oostakker and died in 1950 in Ghent. He was a painter and the brother of the songwriter Isidore De Vos. He studied at the Academy in Ghent. He loved the sea and fishing life and often went on nocturnal fishing trips. His inspiration was mainly drawn from the sea and the fishing life. According to the press: 'He knows what a hollow sea means, tossing its waves vigorously under the grim surf, which rises with colors of copper and vitriol. And he also knows perfectly well what a 'poetic sea' has to tell, cloaking itself in the misty light of morning or evening with a feminine elegance,' and 'This is characteristic of his marine paintings: they are certain mood images, musical impressions, intimate art in which a generous heart of a Flemish romantic beats.' (J. Crick) His wife, Judith De Bruycker, was also a painter. She participated in the Salons in Ghent among others. She was a teacher at the Academy in Eeklo until the 1930s. Mentioned in CRICK, BAS II and Two centuries of signatures of Belgian artists.
