| Born in Ixelles, Brussels, Billoin was a painter, watercolorist, draftsman, engraver, and lithographer. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels from 1827 to 1829 and again from 1835 to 1840, where he was a pupil of Joseph Paelinck and Henri van der Haert. He began exhibiting in Brussels in 1835 and gained fame for his engravings and lithographs, primarily depicting scenes of Belgium and portraits. Due to the perfection and high quality of his work, he was able to secure regular commissions from publishers for many years. He was a member of L'École Royale de Gravure. Billoin died in Elsene. | ||||||||||
