Van Acker was born at Bruges. He studied under Ducq, and soon became popular as a miniature-painter. In 1834 he went to Paris, and was there acknowledged as one of the best artists of his class. After his return to Bruges, he was called by King Leopold to Brussels, and painted numerous miniatures of the royal family and personages of the court. After a journey to England, Van Acker returned to Bruges, where he died, in 1863.[1]

Notes
  1. Bryan 1886.
gollark: The syntax isn't very important, the semantics are what matter, and Python is basically your standard modern high-level multiparadigm language so the concepts transfer fine to JS and whatever else.
gollark: Don't start with C++, it has similar problems plus masses of complexity stacked on.
gollark: Which doesn't really matter much.
gollark: Java and C# and JS aren't more C-like than Python except in syntax.
gollark: Well, if you're new to programming then probably python.
