William Henry James Weale

William Henry James Weale (8 March 1832 – 1917) was a British art historian who lived and worked most of his life in Bruges and was one of the first to research the Early Netherlandish painting (then better known as "Flemish Primitives") extensively. He was also a pioneer in the study of early bookbinding, and a staunch promotor of the Gothic Revival architecture.
==Biography==
William Henry James Weale was born in Marylebone, London, in 1832 as the son of James Weale (died 1838) and Susan de Vezian (died 1855). His father was the librarian to John Baker Holroyd, 1st Earl of Sheffield and had a large book collection of his own. He studied at King's College London between 1843 and 1848. He was the headmaster at a school in Islington.
In 1854, he married Helena Amelia Walton, and the next year, after the death of his mother, they moved to Bruges. Weale was already interested in early Flemish art, and could pursue that interest much better in Flanders. He produced his first books on the topic in 1861. He was a member of the Belgian Royal Commission for Art and Architecture from 1860, and the Belgian Royal Commission for Monuments from 1861 on.〔
In August 1863, he founded the Guild of Saint Thomas and Saint Luke, a guild to study and promote Christian art. Weale was a devout converted Roman Catholic and was inspired by Augustus Pugin and his 1841 work ''The true principles of pointed or Christian architecture''. Besides Weale as secretary, oher members of the initial guild included the first president, the Walloon Charles Voisin, and as vice-presidents the Dutch Joseph Albert Alberdingk Thijm and the German Franz Johann Joseph Bock.
In 1865 he founded together with Guido Gezelle the magazine ''Rond den Heerd''. The same year he created the ''Société Archéologique'' in Bruges. Other magazines he founded were ''Le Beffroi'' and ''La Flandres'', and he also published in major art and literary magazines like ''Athenaeum'' and the ''Gazette des Beaux-Arts''.〔
In 1864 he curated an exhibition on ecclesiastic art in Mechelen, and in 1867 he organised a first exhibition around the Flemish Primitives in Bruges, for which he also wrote the catalogues. In 1872, Weale catalogued the Flemish pottery at the Victoria and Albert Museum (then named the South Kensington Museum) where he became a curator in 1874.〔〔 In 1879, he returned to England with his family and founded there the Guild of Saint Gregory and Saint Luke. He became the curator of the library of the South Kensington Museum in 1890, where he remained until his retirement in 1897.〔
He started writing artist biographies, with one on Gerard David appearing in 1895, another about Hans Memling in 1901, and a final and most ambitious one on the Van Eyck brothers in 1908, with a revised edition in 1912. Meanwhile, in 1902, he organised the ambitious Exposition des primitifs flamands à Bruges, the largest exposition of works by Early Netherlandish painters up till then, which was groundbreaking and the source of many publications and research.〔
Weale died in 1917 in Clapham Common, London.
