Ensor is one of the most important representatives of symbolism in Flanders. Hes one of the biggest figures referring to modern art. He started painting under the influence of the impressionists but developed afterwards a very specific and personal style: portraying individuals as clowns or skeletons or replacing their faces with carnival masks, he represented humanity as stupid, smirking, vain, and loathsome.
Famous
pieces of work are Het zelfportret,
De intocht van Christus in
Brussel.
