Reception and legacy
Camille Lemonnier wrote, "Master Louis Dubois, I saved him for last, like a hot pepper for a bored palate. Zounds! What painting! I recognized the power of another with distinction." Edmond About said about him, "he was the most distinguished painter working in Belgium."
The Ostende Fine Arts Museum displayed three of his paintings, but they were destroyed during World War II.
