Ensor himself lacked interest in academic study and left school at the age of fifteen to begin his artistic training with two local painters.

Historians have generally seen Ensor's last forty or fifty years as a long period of decline, although noting a few original "superb and poignant" compositions from his later period.<sup id="cite_ref-Farmer,_1976,_p._32_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Farmer,_1976,_p._32-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> One author identified significant works of Ensor's late period such as <i>The Artist's Mother in Death</i> (1915), a subdued painting of his mother's deathbed with a still life of prominent medicine bottles in the foreground, and <i>The Vile Vivisectors</i> (1925), a vehement attack on those responsible for the use of animals in medical experimentation.<sup id="cite_ref-Farmer,_1976,_p._32_14-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Farmer,_1976,_p._32-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another stated "He would still paint pictures magnificently vigorous and bold, but they would be exceptions rather than the rule" noting works such as <i>Our Two Portraits</i> (1905), <i>The Deliverance of Andromeda</i> (1925), <i>Port of Ostend</i> (1933) and <i>Ensor at the Harmonium</i> (1933).<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The aggressive sarcasm that had characterized his work since the mid-1880s was less evident in his few new compositions, and much of his output consisted of mild repetitions of earlier works.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Several still life paintings, void of social, political, or introspective content, stand out among his later works. Ensor turned more and more to music in his later years, playing the harmonium and even composing a ballet-pantomime in one act, <i>The Scale of Love</i> (1907), complete with an original libretto, sets and costumes. He is known to have stated in later years that he had followed the wrong path in life, feeling that he should have devoted himself to music.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a

He created 133 etchings and drypoints over the course of his career, with 86 of them made between 1886 and 1891 during the height of Ensor's most creative period.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ensor himself recognized that the prints were a key part of his artistic legacy, stating in a letter to Albert Croquez in 1934: "Yes, my intention is to go on working for a long time yet so that generations to come may hear me. My intention is to survive, and I think of the solid copper plate, the unalterable ink, easy reproduction, faithful prints, and I adopt etching as a means of expression."<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1889, Ensor created two highly political etchings. The first, titled <i>Doctrinal Nourishment</i> [or <i>Alimentation Doctrinaire</i>], depicts key figures in Belgium—a bishop, the king, etc.—defecating on the masses of Belgium. The second, titled <i>Belgium in the XIXth Century</i> or <i>King Dindon</i>, depicts <a href="/wiki/King_Leopold_II" class="mw-redirect" title="King Leopold II">King Leopold II</a> watching as military figures violently quell a protest. These prints are very rare today because Ensor attempted to remove them from circulation after being named Baron and many others were lost during the war.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a
