Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ensor was essentially ignored by serious art circles until his 40s, spending decades painting demons in his attic while running the family curiosity shop.
His 1888 masterpiece 'Christ's Entry into Brussels' was considered so scandalous it wasn't publicly displayed until after his death—Quatfass includes the full restoration footage.
