Jozef Horenbant (Ghent, 1863-1956) was a pupil at the Ghent Academy, where he studied with Theodore Canneel. He then moved to Paris, where he was taught by Jules Bastien-Lepage. Horenbant became a teacher and later director at the Academy in Sint-Niklaas. He painted landscapes, genre scenes, markets and interiors. As a member of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in Ghent, he participated in the triennial exhibitions. He won a bronze medal at the World Fair in Paris in 1900 and a gold medal in Brussels in 1910. He played an important role in the establishment of the municipal museum in Sint-Niklaas. He donated a part of his oeuvre to the museum, as well as his collection of old engravings and sculptures.
