January 01, 1970

Baron Thomas Jules Vinçotte (French pronunciation: [tɔmɑ ʒyl vɛ̃sɔt]; 1850–1925) was a Belgian sculptor and medallist.

Life edit

Vinçotte was the son of Jean-Marie Vinçotte, born in Borgerhout and brother of the engineer Robert Vinçotte. Thomas initially trained at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels under Joseph Jacquet and Eugène Simonis, then continued his education in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts[1] under Pierre-Jules Cavelier.[2] He returned to Belgium and from 1886 through 1921 he lectured at the National University of Fine Arts in Antwerp.

Vinçotte developed strong social and political ties with the court of King Leopold II, as evidenced by his baronial title, his many commissions for large government projects, multiple equestrian statues of the king, portrait busts of the royal family and important officials, and his designs for Belgian coinage circa 1905.[3]

A street in Schaerbeek is named in his honor.
