Berthe Art was born in Brussels to Ferdinand Art and Constance Luc. She briefly studied art in Paris under Alfred Stevens and became a member of the women artists club called Cercle des Femmes Peintres which organized local art shows at the Brussels museum from 1888–1902. In 1911, she and some others from the previous group organized a gallery in Brussels called Galerie Lyceum.

Daughter of French parents (her father was a government official who later became Inspector-General in Brussels), Euphrosine Beernaert was born in Ostend and taught art by her mother until she was sixteen and the family moved to Leuven where Euphrosine developed her skills by copying Dutch and German landscapes. In Brussels, she received some training from E. de Schampheleer, Théodore Fourmois, P. L. Kuhnen, and other art teachers. Her work was widely recognized and she was given the Order of Leopold by the King of the Belgians in 1881. Her brother, Auguste Beernaert, was Prime Minister of State and a Nobel Prize winner, and sometimes accused of using his influence to promote his sister's career. Unfortunately, many of her paintings, including Entrance to the Convent (above), were lost in a fire during World War II after a bombing.
