Ferdinand de Braekeleer (Antwerp, February 12, 1792 - Antwerp, May 16, 1883) was a Belgian painter. The son of poor parents, he was first accepted by Mathieu van Brée’s Art School for Orphans and later by the Antwerp Academie. He gained several prizes there in 1809 and 1811, and he distinguished himself in the Paris Salon of 1813.
