These Stations of the Cross made such an impression on people that they were recognised by the Vatican. Subsequently, L.J. Camerlinckx received many commissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\">He taught in Aarschot at the drawing and painting school, of which he was a co-founder.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">In 1950 he married Madeleine Douven, one of his private pupils. They moved to Leopoldsburg. There he devoted himself to portraits and figure drawing and painting, in both pastel and oil paint. &#8220;Man&#8221;, that is what fascinated him! Character, the individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\">In 1962 he moved with his wife and daughter to the wooded surroundings of Eksel. Camerlinckx called his villa &#8220;de th\u00e9ba\u00efde&#8221;, a place to find inspiration in peace. Despite the remote location, people found him from every corner of the world. His works are therefore spread across Belgium, the Netherlands, France, England, Monaco, America, Germany, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/index.php?category=camerlinckx&amp;page=11\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">L.J.
