Arthur Vangramberen (Tienen, July 23, 1873 - 1940) was a Belgian painter.
LifecycleCaptivators (also Van Gramberen) was a son of Louis-Francois Van Gramberen (° 1840) and Marie-Justine Dewahleyns (° 1851). He studied at Saint Lucia's school in Ghent. He settled in Tienen and worked under the name of Arthur Van Gramberen-Courtois. He delivered work in Tienen and surroundings, but also elsewhere in Belgium.
He was a painter of religious subjects. The altar pieces of the Sint-Germanus church in Tienen and the crossroads in the Sint-Leonard church in Zoutleeuw are out of hand.
As an art historian and ancientist, he painted the most picturesque corners of the city.
He was also a theoretician and wrote a lot in the Bulletin of Métiers d'art.
When the ancient cemetery or necropolis in Grimde at Tienen became very rude, they wanted to demolish. This was prevented by Arthur van Gramberen. He wrote an article in the Bulletin of Métiers d'Art and was supported by Canon and art historian Raymond A.G. Lemaire and by Stan Leurs describing the building in their work L'Architecture romane dans l'ancien Duché de Brabant. Publications Literature Externe link
