Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts
Emil attended school at Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, Belgium. A 1905 Los Angeles Times article erroneously claimed to the contrary that Emil was a graduate of École des Beaux-Arts. The same article also erroneously claimed that Emil was a Frenchman, and such an inference about his education would be plausible if he were believed to be from France. Emil was from Belgium. The Wikipedia article: Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts indicates that these two schools are often confused and well supports this conjecture.
