Firmin Baes (1874–1943) was a Belgian painter, pastel artist, draughtsman and print designer. His subject matter ranged from still lifes, genre scenes, portraits, nudes, landscapes and interiors. He became particularly skilled in working in pastel, a medium he used almost exclusively after 1900.
Baes published in 1941 an illustrated booklet entitled Histoires de peintres racontées et illustrées par Firmin Baes containing anecdotes relating to painters and their work. Below is a collection of beautiful portrait paintings by Firmin Baes from the early 20th century.
