Literature: Henri Hymans, Notice sur la vie et les travaux de Nicaise de Keyser (Bruxelles: Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts d'Anvers, 1889), Liste des Oeuvres de De Keyser, p. 104, under the year 1851.
N.B. Belgian Romantic artist Nicaise de Keyser was a painter of portraits, genre, religious, and historical scenes. He studied under Jozef Jacobs and Mattheus Ignatius van Bree at the Royal Academy in Antwerp, where he would later be elected a member and named Director in 1855. His breakthrough as a painter came with the canvas Battle of the Golden Spurs, depicting a historical battle between France and Flanders in 1302, which was exhibited at the Brussels Salon in 1836. Based in Antwerp throughout his career, De Keyser also traveled to England and Scotland, France, Italy, and Germany. In 1862, De Keyser began a series of decorative historical paintings celebrating Flemish artists, intended for the former Antwerp Museum and Academy building. When the new Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp was completed in the late nineteenth century, the paintings were transferred to the staircase of the museum. Describing the series, one visitor was said to have exclaimed, "They are alive and full of thought!," a reaction that could be applied equally to the returning crusader in the painting at hand.
