Antwerpen - Vismarkt, lithograph by Dewasme, after Prosper de la Barrière. 1823
Antoine Dewasme (1797–1851): Pioneer of Belgian Lithography
Antoine Dewasme, often known as Antoine Dewasme-Plétinckx, was one of the most influential figures in the early history of Belgian lithography. Born in Tournai in 1797, he trained as an engraver and lithographer at a moment when lithography was still a relatively new and experimental medium in Europe.
In the 1820s, Dewasme established himself as a printer and publisher, first in Tournai and later in Brussels, where he founded a major lithographic workshop. His press became a hub for leading artists of the period, including Jean-Baptiste Madou, Eugène Verboeckhoven, François Stroobant and Théodore Fourmois. Through these collaborations, Dewasme played a crucial role in elevating lithography from a technical novelty to a respected artistic and commercial medium.
His workshop produced a wide range of prints: landscapes, genre scenes, historical subjects and politically significant imagery, including works connected to the Belgian Revolution. The quality and scope of his production earned him the title of Court Lithographer in 1828. Following his marriage to Élisabeth Plétinckx, he often signed his work and publications as Dewasme-Plétinckx.
