The paintings of the Flemish master Basile de Loose are portraits and genre paintings, often describing family life. B de Loose is the most important representative of the 'Biedermeier' sentiment in The Netherlands. 

His scenes regarded as 'Mealy' are more than the work of his contemporaries because of his sense of humor and technical superiority.
