Male sculptures in Brussels (1)

Brussels, and Belgium, was and still is home of plenty artists, since centuries. Here is a first selection of male sculptures you can see in parks, museums, cemeteries, not covered previously in this blog like, for example, those from George Minne, or Guillaume Geefs.

Charles Van der Stappen (1843-1910), famous Belgian sculptor, is the author of this Young man with sword (Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels). He also achieved his version of David, below. 

Roger Vene sculpted this 'Thinker' located in the Ixelles cemetery, near the main entrance.

In the same cemetery, another male sculpture, from Eugène de Bremaecker (1879-1963).

In the Palais des Nations, where the 'Parlement Fédéral' is located, there is a sculpture I like, discreetly visible between two corridors, made by Paul Du Bois (the Belgian sculptor, as there is a French one with similar name), and representing the young Prince Leopold.
