Alphonse-Jules Wauters (1845–1916) was a Belgian art historian, geographer, and magazine editor.
Life
Wauters was born in Brussels, Belgium, on 13 June 1845. In 1887 he became a professor of Art History at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, and in 1894 a member of the Royal Academy of Science, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium.
His passion, however, was geography. He became Secretary of the Brussels Geographical Society, and founded and edited two geographical journals, Le Mouvement Géographique (1884–1922) and the shorter-lived Le Congo illustré (1891–1895), which supported projects for colonisation in Central Africa. Wauters died in Ixelles, Belgium, on 25 March 1916.
