Léon Govaerts
After starting out as a draughtsman with the architect Ernest Hendrickx and completing long traineeships in England and then in Paris, Léon Govaerts began a dazzling career by winning a competition to design a Town Hall for Tubize. He would gradually move towards a very personal Art Nouveau style, tinged with influences from Classical Antiquity and even ancient Egypt, but these were reinterpreted in his own way and always displayed perfect elegance.
