Emile Barthélémy, ° 30.12.1865; + 27.2.1966. Symbolist painter, known for his frescoes on mythological and religious subjects. Acquired a camera as an aide-mémoire and to support and/or replace preliminary sketching, enabling him to paint figures that were more naturalistic than idealised. Amongst Fabry's models were his wife and children as well as the artist himself. The "Musée de la Photographie" in Charleroi acquired a large collection of glass negatives in 2020 that were taken in Fabry's studio in the period before World War I, and then again in the interwar years, after his return from self-imposed exile in Great Britain.
