Famous People named Carabain

Jacob Frans Jozef (‘Jaques’) Carabain (1834 – 1933), a prolific and well-known painter of townscapes in the Romantic-Realist style, was born and educated in Amsterdam. He moved to work in Belgium in 1856, naturalised there and although he travelled the world, was for the rest of his almost 99-year long life based in the town of Schaerbeek adjoining Brussels. Jaques Carabain also visited Melbourne, Australia and worked there a while during 1988 and 1889. Scheltema not only met him and his spouse Helena Théodora Ricken in Melbourne but also their adult children Emile-Crétien, Eugène Jean-Jacques and Victor. They came from Belgium.
