ชีวประวัติ:

Henri, Hendrik, or Henry Voordecker (15 August 1779, Brussels – 3 December 1861, Brussels) was a Belgian painter of genre scenes, especially of birds such as pigeons – his most notable works include Hunter's Home. By late in his career he was regarded as perhaps the most distinguished painter in Brussels, and was also successful in Britain. He specialized in genre scenes from the beginning of his career, landscapes and animal scenes; in the latter genre predominantly pigeons and poultry. Voordecker painted in the romantic style, at once charming and commercial. As Voordecker's art was in sympathy with the spirit of the age, his success with an audience of wealthy citizens was assured. King William I bought a panel by him in 1820.
