When he was thirteen, his father moved the family to France to take a job as a spinner in the industrial town of Roubaix. He took his first art lessons at the local Academy. In 1876, he entered the École des Beaux-arts, where he studied under Alexandre Cabanel. Four years later, he was a candidate for the Prix de Rome, but it was discovered that he was still a Belgian citizen, so he returned to Mouscron, took temporary lodgings and applied for the Prix de Rome (Belgium) from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp). He was awarded the prize in 1879 and received a gold medal for his painting The Aduatuci Sold as Slaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCogghe spent the next five years travelling extensively throughout Spain and Italy, with visits to Algeria and Tunisia, painting all the way prolifically. In 1885, he returned to Roubaix and moved in with his parents. By 1893, he had become successful enough that he could afford to build his own house. He specialised in portraits, but also painted scenes from the daily life of Roubaix and the surrounding region. Between 1879 and 1926, he exhibited in the foreign section at the Salon twenty-nine times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCogghe died on 2 April 1935 in Roubaix.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cogghe-remy-1854-1935-madame-is-receiving-1908","title":"Cogghe, Rémy (1854-1935) - Madame is Receiving 1908","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by Belgian artist Remy Cogghe featuring servants spying on their mistress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 5400 pixels wide by 6830 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/cogghe-remy\" title=\"Remy Cogghe\"\u003eRemy Cogghe\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61989524242762,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Cogghe_Remy_1854-1935_-MadameisReceiving1908_main.jpg?v=1780501689"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Cogghe_Remy_1854-1935.jpg?v=1780500959","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/cogghe-remy.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
