About Jean Baptiste Capronnier
- Jean-Baptiste Capronnier (1 February 1814 – 31 July 1891) was a Belgian stained glass painter.
- Born in Brussels, Belgium in 1814, he had much to do with the modern revival of glass-painting, and first made his reputation by his study of the old methods of workmanship, and his clever restorations of old examples, and copies made for the Brussels archaeological museum.
- He carried out windows for various churches in Brussels (including the Église Royale Sainte-Marie), Bruges, Amsterdam and elsewhere), and his work was commissioned also for France, Italy and England.
- At the Paris Exhibition of 1855 he won the only medal given for glasspainting.
- He died in Schaerbeek in 1891. He was also an entomologist specialising in Lepidoptera and he became a Member of the Royal Belgian Entomological Society.
