Camille Venneman (b. 1827 Ghent; d. 1868 Schaerbeak) was a painter  
of genre and anecdotal scenes.  Active in Antwerp, Belgium, he was a  
pupil of his more famous father, Charles Karel Ferdinand Venneman  
(1802-1875) whose works are represented in museums such as the New  
Pinacothek in Munich.

Venneman painted in the circle of Henri De Braekeleer (1840-1888),  
the most important 19th Flemish painter prior to Ensor, with works in  
the Musee d’Orsay and San Francisco Fine Arts Museum.  Both Henri and  
Camille’s father studied under Adrien De Braekeleer (1818-1904).

Camille’s sister Rosa (c. 1825-1909), also a painter, occasionally
was responsible for staffage in her brother’s works.
