Henri Evenepoel (Brussels, October 3, 1872 - Paris, December 27, 1899) was a Belgian artist whose most important works are associated with Fauvism. He showed four portraits at the Salon du Champ-de-Mars in 1895 and continued to exhibit there until his death. His first solo exhibition came at the Brussels Cercle Artistique (December 1897 – January 1898). Though his early scenes had a somber palette, his paintings while in Algeria (where he first wintered during his solo exhibition) were very different in style, anticipating the bold colours of Fauvism. Evenepoel died of typhus in Paris at the age of 27.
