Eugene Van Mieghem

Erwin Joos, the curator of Belgium's Eugeen Van Mieghem Museum and author of "Antwerp New York: Eugene Van Mieghem," will lecture on the realist painter he's studied for so long. Mieghem came of age in the Belgian port of Antwerp in the late 19th century, and his paintings reflect that ' when they're not of women (see above), they're depicting lovable characters like emigrants, dockers, bargees and port tramps. Visit the Web site for an extensive look at his works.

Mon., Aug. 3, 6 p.m., free, Philadelphia Free Library, Independence Branch, 18 S. 7th St., 215-685-1633, library.phila.gov.
