* Georges Van der Straeten (1856-1928) was a Belgian sculptor.
was a Belgian sculptor, first working as a lawyer until 1882, then as a pupil of the sculptor Jef Lambeaux. He moved to Paris in 1883. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1885 to 1912. He worked with and befriended Jan van Beers. This friendship led him to find the true formula of his talent, which brought him fame in the amiable genre of the Parisienne. He won several awards, including a silver medal at the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris. He was named Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1903. This artist is representative of the Belle Époque, a period that saw the emergence of Art Nouveau, an international artistic movement that broke away from academic production.
