Émile Antoine Verpilleux

Émile Antoine Verpilleux (3 March 1888 – 10 September 1964) was an Anglo-Belgian artist who specialised in woodcut printmaking. He was the first artist to have hung a coloured print work at the Royal Academy.

His work, including multi-coloured woodcuts such as St Paul's From Cheapside and St Pancras Railway Station, was taken up by the publishers Colnaghi & Co who helped to popularise his distinctive style in the run up to, and following, the First World War. A series of murals Verpilleux painted of 1930s Bermuda that were on display in St. George's Town Hall have been restored after being damaged by Hurricane Fabian.
