Painter of portraits and flowers.

Pascal De Beucker was an excellent painter with an eye for detail. He was a pupil of the Antwerp Academy. Around 1904 he spent two years in the United States, encouraged by the painter of miniatures W. Robertson, who had detected his talent from an early age. He had lots of success in Springfield as a painter of portraits, which were famous for their naturelness and liveliness. In 1910 he returned to Belgium, he got married and settled down in Mortsel.

De Beucker became a virtuoso painter of flowers and excelled in the depiction of roses.
